The primary motivation of this research is to develop chemical sensors capable of detecting specific molecules produced by microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) that can be correlated with food rot, in addition to causing several diseases. However, there are few studies on the rapid detection and low detection limit of volatile organic compounds produced by microbial volatile organic compou…
Innovation in the gas sensors science and technology have great importance for the sustainable development of new materials with better performance. The research project concerns the evaluation of the use of graphene acid (GA) in the n-type (e.g., SnO2, CeO2, WO3) and p-type (e.g., CuO, Co3O4, Cr2O3) metal oxide semiconductors (MOS). The GA-MOS composites must improve the sensitivity, sel…
The research project concerns the evaluation of the use of metal catalysts (MCat) or reduced graphene oxide (RGO) in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) in the composites MOS-MCat and MOS-RGO, respectively, to improve the sensitivity, selectivity and response time of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensors. The MOS-MCat structures are obtained by deposition of MCats (e.g. Pt, Pd and Ag)…
Dermatomycosis is a fungal infection of keratinized tissues that causes redness, pain, inflammation, and intense itching in the affected region. Bearing in mind that dermatomycoses are the skin diseases that most commonly affect people around the world and that although the use of antifungals minimizes the symptoms of infections, there are many uncertainties about the best therapy to be a…
The advancement in science and technology of volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors is important for the sustainable development of functional materials. Therefore, there is a need to improve the sensitivity, response time and lifetime of the sensors. In this sense, the research project refers to the evaluation of the synergistic effect of the modification of zinc oxide (ZnO) based senso…
The present project aims at the use of Carbon-Based Composites (CBC) from the catalytic decomposition of methane (CH4’ C + 2 H2) to be applied as gas sensors. Gas sensors are relatively simple and portable devices that can diagnose illnesses or detect contaminations in environments or food quickly and effectively. However, the great challenge is to develop sensors that work well at room t…

This research proposal aims to promote an in-depth investigation of the structural, electronic, and chemical properties of gas-sensors based on graphene acid composites with yolk-shell cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2) and yolk-shell Pd-CeO2 nanospheres. Due to the easy conversion potential between Ce(III) and Ce(IV) oxidation states, oxygen vacancies defects can be created in the CeO2 crystal stru…
