High Sensitivity of Ammonia Sensor through 2D Black Phosphorus/Polyaniline Nanocomposite

Recently, as a two-dimensional (2D) material, black phosphorous (BP) has attracted more and more attention. However, few efforts have been made to investigate the BP/polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite for ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) gas sensors. In this work, the BP/PANI nanocomposite as a no...
