However, MOS typically imposes a significant electrical burden on devices due to its low carrier mobility and high electric resistivity. Recently, hybridization of laser-induced graphene (LIG) with MOS is a promising approach to overcome the inherent limitations of MOS and enhance device performance. In this study, molybdenum oxide (MoO<sub>x</sub>) is synthesized on LIG using metal–organic decomposition (MOD) for VOC gas sensing. Highly crystalline α-MoO<sub>3</sub> is demonstrated to grow densely on the LIG by analysis with field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, the gas sensing test revealed that LIG/α-MoO<sub>3</sub> hybrid gas sensor can selectively detect various VOC gases (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol) and stably detected low concentrations of methanolat 44.7 ppm with low electrical resistivity (6.94 × 10<sup>5</sup> Ω). This work demonstrates that the MOD method enables the synthesis of high-density, highly crystalline, nanostructured α-MoO<sub>3</sub>, thereby enhancing the performance of conventional gas sensors.

Finite element method (FEM) simulations predicted stress distributions and contact mechanics, which are validated experimentally. Rubber/curved bonding tools exhibited superior compliance, resulting in uniform interfacial contact and reduced defect density. Process parameters such as bonding temperature, pressure, adhesive thickness, and annealing method are systematically refined. Integration of a pressure curing oven (PCO) enabled efficient gas evacuation and enhanced adhesive homogeneity. Distinct from prior approaches limited to planar or mildly curved substrates, this work addresses high-curvature integration through a combined simulation–experiment framework. The proposed process achieved void-free attachment with a curvature deviation below ±2.4% and a void ratio under 0.5% while maintaining mechanical integrity under thermal cycling.
