Abstract

In recent years, the demand for efficient and sensitive gas sensors has significantly increased due to their crucial role in various industrial and environmental applications. This study focuses on the development and characterization of copper-doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) films as potential gas sensing materials for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection. The synthesis process involved a cost-effective and scalable method, aiming to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of CdS thin films towards H2S gas. The fabricated films were systematically investigated for their structural, morphological, and gas sensing properties. The obtained results demonstrate the promising potential of copper-doped CdS films as high-performance gas sensors for H2S detection, opening avenues for further advancements in gas sensing technology.
