In order to develop sensors for selective detection of hydrogen sulfide in the air, the characteristics of thin SnO2 films with various additives (Au, Pt) in the volume and deposited catalysts (Pt / Pd, Au) are studied. The films were obtained by magnetron sputtering. The sensor response to H2S (the ratio of the sensor conductivity G(1) in the presence of hydrogen sulfide in the gas to the conductivity G(0) in the clean air) is studied as a function of the operating temperature and gas concentration in the range 0.1-70 ppm. It is shown that the sensors with the addition of gold in the volume can be used to detect maximum permissible concentrations (7 ppm) of hydrogen sulfide in the working area after stabilization of the characteristics during long-term tests.
