Abstract
The gas sensing capabilities of Bi2S3 chalcogenide have been actively enhanced and explored revealing its potential for high-performance Cl2 gas detection under different environmental conditions and sensing configurations. This work successfully synthesized Bi2S3 material via the SILAR method and further enhanced its sensing capabilities by fabricating Ag-Bi2S3 nanocomposite. Both pristine Bi2S3 and Ag-Bi2S3 nanocomposite films underwent comprehensive characterization utilizing techniques such as FESEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, and RAMAN to analyze their morphological, structural, and chemical properties. Gas sensing capabilities were evaluated across a temperature range of 26–350 °C and varying Cl2 gas concentrations (0.1–50 ppm). The findings reveal that the Ag-Bi2S3 sensor demonstrates notably superior Cl2 sensing response, particularly at an operational temperature of 150 °C, suggesting its promising potential for Cl2 detection. The LOD has been calculated for Ag-Bi2S3 sensor showing results of 0.150 better than pristine Bi2S3. HOMO-LUMO and PCA analysis for sensors has been studied to understand their capabilities with different gas sensing.
