Gas sensors for acetone detection have received considerable attention because acetone has a significant influence on both the environment and human health, e.g., it is flammable and toxic and may be related to blood glucose levels. However, achieving high sensitivity and selectivity at low concentrations is still a great challenge to date. Here, we report a unique chemiresistive gas sensor for acetone detection, which is composed of InO nanofibers loaded with a porous Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67)-derived CoO cage prepared by simple electrospinning and solvothermal methods. The ZIF-67-derived oxide cage/nanofiber CoO/InO heterostructure has abundant reversible active adsorption/reaction sites and a type-I heterojunction, resulting in an ultrasensitive response of 954-50 ppm acetone at 300 °C. In addition, it demonstrates a low detection limit of 18.8 ppb, a fast response time of 4 s, good selectivity and repeatability, acceptable humidity interference, and long-term stability. With such excellent sensing performance to acetone, our chemiresistive gas sensor could be potentially applied for environmental monitoring and early diagnosis of diabetes.

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA), a natural tetramer comprising PHA-E and PHA-L subunits that preferentially bind to red and white blood cells, respectively, constitutes a significant antinutritional and allergenic factor in common bean seeds. The accurate measurement of PHA content is a prerequisite for ensuring food safety inspections and facilitating genetic improvements in common bean cultivars with reduced PHA levels. Currently, mainstream methods for PHA quantification involve hemagglutination assays and immunodetection, but these methods often require fresh animal blood and lack specificity and accuracy.

The accurate monitoring and detection of acetone vapor are essential for environmental and human safety. Consequently, fern-like FeO with hierarchical vein-like structures is synthesized via a concise hydrothermal method. Compared with pure fern-like FeO, fern-like Pd/PdO-FeO shows the best acetone-sensing characteristics, in terms of lower operating temperature (180 °C), better selectivity and excellent long-term stability.

Constructing a bilayer structure has not been reported as a method to mitigate the adverse effect of water poisoning on oxide chemiresistors while simultaneously enhancing gas selectivity and sensitivity. To address this challenge, pyrochlore-BiSnO has been first utilized as an overlayer on a ZnO sensing layer for constructing a bilayer acetone chemiresistor, leading to remarkable improvement in the performance for trace-level (500 p-p-b) acetone detection under high humidity (80% relative humidity). In addition, owing to the catalytic predecompositions of ethanol across the overlayer, an outstanding acetone gas selectivity (/ = 2.
