Abstract:Gas sensors based on ambipolar materials offer significant advantages in reducing the size of the analytical system and enhancing its efficiency. Here, bilayer heterojunction devices are constructed using different octafluorinated phthalocyanine complexes, with Zn and Co as metal centers, combined with a lutetium bisphthalocyanine complex (LuPc 2 ). Stable p-type behavior is observed for the ZnF 8 Pc/LuPc 2 device under both electron-donating (NH 3 ) and -oxidizing (NO 2 and O 3 ) gaseous species, while the Co… Show more
