Recently, a research team headed by Assistant Professor Wang Mingchao from the School of New Materials at Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School, in partnership with the Max Planck Institute in Germany, Technische Universität Dresden, and Sofia University in Bulgaria, has introduced a novel donor-acceptor type two-dimensional polyarylene vinylene (2D PAV) material. This material, characterized by a square lattice structure, exhibits electron-dominated transport properties, enabling highly efficient detection of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) at room temperature with a remarkable detection limit of 0.1 parts per billion (ppb). This milestone achievement offers a cutting-edge technological approach to monitoring atmospheric pollutants.
