    Abstract
    Toxic gas sensors are widely used on Earth, but few are developed for their applications in outer space. Conventional metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors are commonly operated at high temperatures (>100 degrees C), which hinder their capabilities for detecting many toxic and explosive gases. Additionally, operating at elevated temperatures compromises their energy efficiency and long-term reliability, especially in space environment (approximately 10(-)(12) Pa). Herein, we developed a p-n heterojunction-based MOS thin film gas sensor, assisted with an ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV-LED) irradiation method, operated at room temperature and vacuum condition (around 10(-)(3) Pa). SnO2-CuO and ZnO-CuO thin films for detecting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas were chosen as examples in this study. The UV-LED (365 nm) enhanced chemical reactions between H2S and CuO significantly improved sensor performance, and the developed H2S sensor exhibited a remarkable sensitivity, with a response of 9799 for 25 ppm H2S. The sensor demonstrated good selectivity in the presence of various interfering gases such as CO, H-2, and NO2, and showed its great potential for future space exploration applications.

    • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
    • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
    • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
    • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
    • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
