Abstract: M2S3 (M=Sb or Bi) BASED ROOM TEMPERATURE GAS AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND SENSORS The present invention relates to a gas and volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor, a method for fabricating such a sensor, and a method for detecting gases and VOCs using the same. More particularly, the invention discloses a nanostructured sensor platform based on metal chalcogenide semiconductors of M2S3 (M = Sb or Bi). The invention specifically utilizes a solution-processable, single-source precursor (SSP) approach to synthesize high surface area M2S3 nanostructures compatible with both rigid and flexible substrates. The resulting chemo-resistive sensors demonstrate exceptional performance at ambient room temperatures (25–40?°C), including high sensitivity, rapid response and recovery, and excellent selectivity toward hazardous gases and VOCs at ppm and sub-ppm concentrations. The compatibility of the SSP-based fabrication strategy with flexible substrates facilitates the development of mechanically compliant, lightweight, and adaptable sensing systems suitable for integration into wearable and portable electronic platforms.
