The development of electronic noses is, nowadays, essential for several applications, including breath analysis and industrial security. Ammonia, benzene, hydrogen sulfide are particularly important due to their environmental health impacts. Here, graphene-based sensors, functionalized with unconventional in-house synthesized zinc copper octyl-pyrazinoporphyrazines commercially available phthalocyanine, have been prepared. Enhanced solubility given by the octyl chains allowed us exploit drop-casting as a straightforward functionalization technique. sensors demonstrated excellent performance detecting ammonia, single sensor, competitive detection limit high sensitivity compared state art. In particular, enabled sulfide, which no response is observed bare graphene, lowered all gases graphene. Additionally, prepared assembled into an e-nose that shows promising potentiality be used both medical applications thanks its discrimination capability mixtures.
