Resumo
This work explored the synthesis of materials derived from metal oxides and sulfides
for applications in gas sensor devices. The focus was on studying how the introduction of
heterojunctions can alter the sensor response of the material to analytes in the gas phase.
Specifically, the modification of materials derived from tungsten oxide (WO3) with tin sulfide
(SnS2) phases. To analyze the effect of this modification in a sensor device, the responses
to gases H₂ (flammable), CO, NO₂ (toxic), and acetone (a known biomarker for diseases)
were examined. The materials analyzed demonstrated high selectivity for NO₂, especially at
high concentrations (50/100 ppm), with particular emphasis on the SnS₂/WO₃ (10:1)
material, which achieved a sensor response of 1995 at 100°C. For gases such as H₂ and
acetone, significant responses were observed at higher temperatures (300°C), while carbon
monoxide (CO) showed low sensitivity across all materials. A thermal treatment was also
applied to the materials to study whether there would be any changes in their overall
behavior. Although the thermal treatment enhanced the sensor response for some materials,
such as SnS₂/WO₃ (1:10) in acetone detection, it also brought disadvantages. At certain
temperature ranges, there was a loss of sensor response, as observed in SnS₂/WO₃ (10:1)
at 100°C. Furthermore, the presence of the heterojunction influenced the response and
recovery times. For acetone, some materials exhibited significantly longer recovery times,
while others reduced these times compared to the seed material.
