In this paper, we proposed the surface acoustic wave (SAW) humidity sensors with comprehensive performance using the uniform multiwrinkled graphene oxide (GO) films as the sensing material obtained by vacuum filtration and liquid phase transfer method. The multiwrinkled GO films offered controllable thickness (thin to 29 nm), uniform wafer-level fabrication (2 in.), and abundant wrinkle, making them become effective sensitive films for SAW humidity sensors due to numerous adsorption sites and transfer channels for water molecules. The experimental results showed that the sensors can obtain high sensitivity (10.5 kHz/RH%@60 nm thick film), ultrafast response (∼45 ms), good stability (variation amplitude ∼0.1%), repeatability (variation amplitude ∼1%), and wafer-level fabrication capability demonstrating their practical applications for medical respiration monitoring, noncontact sensing, and human–computer interface.","PeriodicalId":24,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sensors","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142809404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the phase serving as a coupling of refractive index (RI) (marker for substances) and thickness (morphology), existing decoupling methods mainly rely on complex integrated systems or extensive optical field information. Developing simple and rapid decoupling methods remains a challenge. This study introduces a refractive index morphology imaging microscope (RIMIM) system utilizing polarization multiplexing for label-free single living cells. By simultaneous degree of circular polarization (DOCP) imaging and noninterferometric quantitative phase imaging (QPI), the intracellular refractive index distribution (IRID) and morphology can be decoupled. The optical thickness calculated from the phase is input into the circular depolarization decay model (CDDM) of degree of circular polarization to retrieve IRID. Subsequently, the thickness can be decoupled from phase result using retrieved IRID. Experiments conducted on mouse forestomach carcinoma (MFC) cells and human kidney-2 cells (HK-2) demonstrated the RIMIM system’s ability to retrieve IRID and decouple fine morphology. Additionally, the RIMIM system effectively detected membrane damage and changes in erastin-induced ferroptotic HK-2 cells, with average and root-mean-square of surface folds 65.5% and 70.0% higher than those of normal HK-2 cells. Overall, the RIMIM system provides a simple and rapid method for decoupling RI and fine morphology, showing great potential for label-free live cells’ cytopathology detection.","PeriodicalId":24,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sensors","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142797434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, it remains largely unexplored to enhance sensing material performance at the fundamental physical level by strategic exploitation of optical properties. In this work, we proposed a facile and versatile approach for improving the material performance by strategically utilizing the surface plasmon resonance─a characteristic property of optical devices. This approach is revealed to have a dual effect on fluorescence-based chemosensing: it amplifies the collection of fluorescence signals and simultaneously expedites the kinetics of chemical reactions. In this work, we developed a surface plasmon-driven fluorescence-based chemosensor that utilizes the 2,4,6-trisformyl phenol-diethylamine (TFP-I) fluorescent probe for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) gas molecules. By harnessing the dual-effect induced by surface plasmons, we achieved outstanding sensing performance for H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> gas molecules, characterized by 0.0225 ppt sensitivity and an exceedingly low limit of detection. This study substantiates the applicability of the surface plasmon resonance-based optical effect in the realm of fluorescent chemical materials for sensing performance amplification.

Herein, we reported a facile atmospheric plasma-induced grafting technique to surface functionalize a zwitterionic brush coating on the sensor, with the aim to adjust the sensor's microenvironmental chemistry.

Working electrodes with excellent electrochemical performance and permeability properties were directly fabricated on the nitrocellulose membrane to enable both the vertical flow of the sample solution and electrochemical detection. This vertical configuration can remarkably improve the speediness of the immunoassay and effectively inhibit the cross-talk reactions among immunomolecules, thus allowing rapid and simultaneous detection of multiplexed biomarkers. Furthermore, a signal amplification strategy based on horseradish peroxidase and tetramethylbenzidine was integrated into the eVFID to substantially increase the sensitivity of the electrochemical detection. A low limit of detection of 0.1 and 0.22 pg mL<sup>–1</sup> was obtained for two low-abundance inflammatory biomarkers, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and procalcitonin (PCT), respectively.

While multi-VOC imaging methods have the potential to facilitate step-by-step metabolic tracking and improve disease screening accuracy, no such system currently exists. In this study, we achieved simultaneous imaging of ethanol (EtOH) and acetaldehyde (AcH), the starting molecule and an intermediate metabolite of alcohol metabolism, using a multiwavelength VOC imaging system. The system employed alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed substrate oxidation (ADH<sub>OX</sub>) and reduction (ADH<sub>RD</sub>) reactions. The oxidation of EtOH by ADH<sub>OX</sub> in the presence of NAD<sup>+</sup> produced NADH, which was subsequently oxidized by diaphorase (DP) with resazurin, leading to the resorufin formation, characterized by red fluorescence (excitation at 560 nm and fluorescence at 590 nm). Reduction of AcH by ADH<sub>RD</sub> consumed NADH, leading to a decrease in blue fluorescence (ex. 340 nm, fl. 490 nm). Meshes incorporating ADH<sub>OX</sub>-DP or ADH<sub>RD</sub> were arranged in tandem in front of a camera. Fluorescence images were captured, while a mixture of gaseous EtOH and AcH was applied by switching between two bandpass filters at 1 Hz. Each mesh exhibited selective responses to the target VOCs, with no significant impact on the dynamic range observed in either the single or tandem configurations (EtOH 1–300 ppm, AcH 0.2–5 ppm). The 90% response time was close after time–domain image differential analysis (EtOH = 26 s and AcH = 15 s). Furthermore, the system enabled simultaneous and quantitative imaging of EtOH and AcH concentrations in the breath after alcohol consumption. It also distinguished differences in alcohol metabolism based on the alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) activity, as indicated by the EtOH/AcH ratio (ALDH2 active vs nonactive: 120.9/0.71 ppm vs 129.2/1.99 ppm).","PeriodicalId":24,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sensors","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142776831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
