In this work we joined eco-friendly semiconducting materials with green synthesis route. Therefore, the performance of SnS2, Sn(S0.5Se0.5)2 and SnSe2 systems as sensing layer was investigated. Samples with a high degree of micro-deformation and nanometersized crystallites were synthesized by high-energy mechanical milling. This synthesis route stands out for being a simple, low cost and efficient to obtain nanomaterials at room temperature .
