Molecular semiconductor-doped insulator (MSDI) heterojunctions: Oligothiophene/bisphtalocyanine (LuPc2) and perylene/bisphthalocyanine as new structu…
2010
Abstract The combination of a sexithiophene and a perylene diimide derivatives, as p-type and n-type materials, respectively, used as sub-layers, to an intrinsic semiconductor, namely the lutetium bisphthalocyanine, allows to obtain a new transducer for gas sensing. These transducers were called molecular semiconductor-doped insulator (MSDI) heterojunctions, were recently designed and reported, but with only phthalocyanines as active materials. p-Type material leads to MSDIs that exhibit a positive response to ozone and a negative response to ammonia, whereas MSDIs prepared from n-type material exhibit a positive response to ammonia and negative response to ozone. The remarkable point is th…
Electrical transduction in phthalocyanine-based gas sensors: from classical chemiresistors to new functional structures
2009
Phthalocyanines are organic-based materials which have attracted a lot of research in recent times. In the field of sensors, they present interesting and valuable potentialities as sensing elements for real gas sensor applications. In the present article, and taking some of our experiments as representative examples, we review the different ways of transduction applied to such applications. Some of the new tendencies and transducers for gas sensing based on phthalocyanine derivatives are also reported. Among them, electrical transduction (resistors, field-effect transistors, diodes, etc.) has been, historically, the most commonly exploited way for the detection and/or quantification of gas…
