Study of physico chemical properties of graphene and its derivatives for gas sensors application

The development of microelectronics based essentially on miniaturization in the previous century has given rise to other sectors in this area including the ability to design, develop new materials especially in the form of thin layers that may have new properties that will lead to the design and manufacture of devices for a wide variety of applications. Among these materials, we find Graphene and its derivatives (GO “graphene oxide”, rGO “reduced graphene oxide”, ..) which have aroused great interest thanks to their interesting properties: low resistance, transparency, mechanical power … moreover, they are applicable in several devices such as the gas sensors which aroused great interest because of their sensitivities, their quick responses and easy insertion in the electronics.
We aim to elaborate thin films based on GO and then the samples will be characterized with several techniques in order to use them in gas sensor for security.
