In this research, two pellets of titanium dioxide TiO2 were prepared at room temperature. The first was pure titanium dioxide, and the other was doped with silver (2.5%). The pellets were deposited on porous silicon (PSi) with the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The results of scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed improvements in the surface morphologies of the TiO2/PSi and TiO2@Ag/PSi composites. The composites were then tested as CO2 gas sensors. The electrical measurements of the composites showed a decrease in the electrical resistance of the CO2 gas sensor doped with a metal. Sensitivity to CO2 increased to up to 55% in Ag-doped TiO2 film with a concentration of 2.5%, and the highest sensitivity value was obtained in the pure titanium dioxide film (26%).
