Abstract
Real-time, remote monitoring of human biomarkers is essential for personalized medical diagnostics. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a key endogenous gas, serves as a crucial biomarker for conditions such as oral diseases. However, accurately detecting ppb-level H2S in high-humidity environments remains a challenge. Herein, we develop a Pt-loaded CrVN2 fuel cell-type H2S sensor that exhibits high humidity resistance, ultralow detection limits (50 ppb), rapid response (4 s), and exceptional selectivity. The stable electronic structure of CrVN2 ensures a consistent response across a wide relative humidity range (9%-79%). Furthermore, a wireless detection system incorporating the Pt/CrVN2 sensor was designed and validated for breath diagnosis, demonstrating its practical application in smart healthcare. This study highlights the potential of Pt/CrVN2 sensor as a promising platform for real-time, sensitive biomarker detection, contributing to the advancement of next-generation medical diagnostics.
期刊介绍:
ACS Sensors is a peer-reviewed research journal that focuses on the dissemination of new and original knowledge in the field of sensor science, particularly those that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to biosensors, chemical sensors, gas sensors, intracellular sensors, single molecule sensors, cell chips, and microfluidic devices. It aims to publish articles that address conceptual advances in sensing technology applicable to various types of analytes or application papers that report on the use of existing sensing concepts in new ways or for new analytes.
