Experimental data concerning the changes in the current-voltage (I-V) performances of a molecular material-based heterojunction consisting of hexadecafluorinated nickel phthalocyanine (Ni(F16Pc)) and nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc), (Au vertical bar Ni(F16Pc)vertical bar NiPc vertical bar Al) are introduced as an unprecedented principle of transduction for gas sensing performances. The respective n- and p-type doped-insulator behaviors of the respective materials are supported, owing to the observed changes in surface potential (using the Kelvin probe method) after submission to electron donor (ammonia) and electron acceptor gases (ozone). On the other hand, the bilayer device exhibits strong variations in the built-in potential of the junction and in its rectification ratio. Moreover, large increases occur in forward and reverse currents in presence of ammonia vapors. These make possible a multimodal principle of detection controlled by a combined effect between the heterojunction and the NiPc vertical bar Al contact. Indeed, this metal/organic junction plays a critical role regarding the steady asymmetry of the I-V profiles during the device's doping even using high ammonia concentrations. This approach offers a more sophisticated alternative to the classically studied, but at times rather operation-limited, resistive gas sensors.
