Dual-transduction-mode sensing approach for chemical detection
Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical(2012)
摘要
Smart devices such as electronic nose have been developed for application in many fields like national security, defense, environmental regulation, health care, pipeline monitoring and food analysis. Despite a large array of individual sensors, the resolving power of these devices can still be improved to identify a target at a very low concentration out of a mixture of odors, if different types of transductions are employed in concert as a set of sensing responses to distinguish one odor from another. Here, we propose a new sensor architecture enabling different types of transduction signals in parallel on the same individual sensor. We demonstrate this architecture using a light emitting organic field-effect transistor (LEOFET) operated at a dual-transduction mode, as a proof-of-concept. Sensing response has been observed on both electrical and optical output signals from a green LEOFET upon exposure to an explosive taggant, with optical signal exhibiting much higher sensitivity. This new sensor architecture opens a field of devices of synergic capabilities to distinguish chemical and biological targets.
