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. 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]. 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. The SeSeoS project primarily focuses on the design and implementation of innovative products that address significant public health concerns.
