Abstract
exhibits promising potential as a viable option for detecting VOCs in breath analysis applications at room temperature, owing to its excellent adsorption capabilities and sensitivity. Overall, our results highlight aurum-decorated tungsten ditelluride's potential as an efficient nano-sensor for detecting VOCs associated with early-stage lung cancer diagnoses.
