Revealing of Se-based semiconductors for electro-optical gas sensors - SeSeoS

Project summary

Rationale / Needs to be addressed_x000D_ The selectivity of many gas sensors is still an unsolved problem, as most gas-sensing materials are sensitive to different volatile analytes. We propose to address this shortcoming by developing Se-based semiconductors with electrical and optical parameters sensitive to an analyte. _x000D_ Objectives_x000D_ The objectives are novel Se-based compounds and electro-optical gas sensors, intending to reach essential selectivity and a detection limit of less than 500 ppb [analyte]. _x000D_ Potential applications_x000D_ The proposed gas-sensing technology has industrialization potential in markets that contribute to environmental monitoring, industrial and commercial development, and medical diagnosis while considering the requirements for fast, convenient, and accurate monitoring of gas concentrations._x000D_ Impact and potential benefits_x000D_ The SeSeoS project primarily focuses on the design and implementation of innovative products that address significant public health concerns. _x000D_
