Abstract
In this study, employing a 2D electrodeposition in situ assembly method, a high-performance H2S sensor based on a p-n type Cu2O-CuFe2O4 heterostructure ordered nanowire arrays was successfully fabricated on silicon substrates. Compared to Cu2O, Cu2O-CuFe2O4 nanowire arrays exhibits an ideal interfacial barrier structure and higher initial resistance, with a response to 10 ppm of H2S at room temperature (20 ± 3 °C) increased by 225 times and a response time reduced by over 2400 s. The sensor demonstrates exceptional sensitivity (LOD = 10 ppb; response = 234.5), selectivity, and humidity resistance (stable response ∼6000 to 10 ppm of H2S at 60-90% RH). Notably, it shows unique low-temperature-enhanced sensing, with a response of 8.365 × 104 to 10 ppm of H2S at -10 °C (vs 1.144 × 104 at 20 °C). The sensor was successfully applied to detect H2S in human oral exhaled breath, demonstrating its potential for noninvasive disease diagnosis and offering a promising approach for developing room-temperature breath analysis sensors.
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.
