Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms with a large surface-to-volume ratio, providing a large capacity gas molecule adsorption and a strong surface sensitivity. Chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene-based NO 2 gas sensors typically have detection limits from 100 parts per billion (ppb) to a few parts per million (ppm), with response times over 1000 s. Numerous methods have been proposed to enhance the NO 2 sensing ability of graphenes. Among them, surface decoration with metal particles and metal-oxide particles has demonstrated the potential to enhance the gas-sensing properties. Here, we show that the NO 2 sensing of graphene can be also enhanced via decoration with monodisperse polymer beads. In dark conditions, the detection limit is improved from 1000 to 45 ppb after the application of polystyrene (PS) beads. With laser illumination, a detection limit of 0.5 ppb is determined. The enhanced gas sensing is due to surface plasmon polaritons excited by interference and charge transfer between the PS beads. This method opens an interesting route for the application of graphene in gas sensing.
