Abstract

The growing need for effective gas detection technologies has led to significant advancements in the development of gas sensors. This study introduces a novel Poly(o-toluidine) (POT)/Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanocomposite sensor for sulfur dioxide (SO₂) detection, demonstrating remarkable improvements in sensitivity, selectivity, and response/recovery times. The POT/TiO₂ nanocomposite sensor exhibits a threefold enhancement in sensitivity compared to pure POT, achieving a response of 186 at 50 ppm SO₂ at room temperature, a significant improvement over previous high-temperature-based SO₂ sensors. Additionally, the sensor demonstrates excellent repeatability and stability over 35 days, making it a promising candidate for industrial and environmental monitoring. The synergistic interaction between POT and TiO₂ enhances charge transfer and gas adsorption, resulting in faster and more reliable SO₂ detection and presenting an innovative solution for practical gas sensing applications.
