This study describes an integrated NH3 sensor based on a hydrogenated nanocrystalline diamond (NCD)-sensitive layer coated on an interdigitated electrode structure. The gas sensing properties of the sensor structure were examined using a reducing gas (NH3) at room temperature and were found to be dependent on the electrode arrangement. A pronounced response of the sensor, which was comprised of dense electrode arrays (of 50 µm separation distance), was observed. The sensor functionality was explained by the surface transfer doping effect. Moreover, the three-dimensional model of the current density distribution of the hydrogenated NCD describes the transient flow of electrons between interdigitated electrodes and the hydrogenated NCD surface, that is, the formation of a closed current loop.

Electronic noses have been widely used in industrial production, food preservation, agricultural product storage, environmental monitoring, and other fields. However, due to the cross-sensitivity of gas-sensing responses, accurately measuring the concentration of mixed gases remains challenging. To address this issue, this study attempts to determine the number of state variables that produce the cross-influence based on the experimental data, establish the state space model from the equivalent circuit model, and obtain model parameters through parameter correlation iterative algorithms and a Kalman filter.

ConspectusCovalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent a fascinating class of crystalline porous polymers constructed from organic building blocks linked by covalent bonds. Benefiting from their high crystallinity, large surface area, and ease of functionalization, COFs have demonstrated significant potential across various fields, including gas adsorption, luminescence, sensing, catalysis, energy storage, nanomedicine, etc. In the first decade of COF development, only those with homogeneous porosity have been constructed, and thus, their topological structures are quite limited.

Enzyme-catalyzed reactions have the advantages of excellent selectivity, low cost, and mild reaction conditions, but the slow reaction kinetics limit their practical applications. Herein, a microdroplet generator that can continuously and rapidly generate water microdroplets with tunable size was designed and used for the study of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in microdroplets. Using glucose oxidase as a model and resazurin as a fluorescence probe, the fluorescence intensity of the collected microdroplets sprayed into the gas phase was 35 times higher than that in the bulk system, demonstrating obvious reaction acceleration in the microdroplets.

Integrated cataluminescence (CTL) sensing for both identification and quantification has become the focus in gas-sensing methods. With the development of an integrated circuit, inspiration from electronic automation provided a convenient approach for the application of CTL sensors. Here, a global dielectric barrier discharge plasma system supported by a digital code is raised for the process-oriented sampling and gaseous dynamic dual-route reaction for the rapid quantitative and qualitative analysis of oxidative volatile organic compounds (OVOCs).
