description Abstract Vanadium disulfide (VS2), a typical layered transition‐metal dichalcogenide, has drawn extensive attention in energy storage devices, catalysts as well as sensors due to its intriguing electronic peculiarities, whereas its chemiresistive gas sensing properties have seldom been investigated. In this contribution, first the ammonia sensing properties of VS2 nanosheets (NSs)‐based chemiresistive gas sensor are reported. VS2 NSs are synthesized through facile liquid‐phase exfoliation, and their crystal structure, micromorphology, and elemental component are characterized. Density functional theory calculation has revealed that VS2 (100) is highly affinitive to ammonia molecule, and sufficient electron transfers from ammonia to VS2, which implies VS2 NSs possess high potential for ammonia sensing. The computational results are verified by gas sensing measurement that the resistance of VS2 NSs remarkably increases upon injecting ammonia gas at low working temperature of 40 °C. Additionally, the VS2 NSs exhibit superb selectivity to ammonia. The probable mechanism for ammonia sensing can be that ammonia molecule absorbed at edge sites of VS2 NSs transfers electron to p‐type VS2 NSs, reduces hole concentration in the NSs, and thus leads to resistance enhancement of VS2 NSs.
