Abstract
Metal oxide gas sensors (MOGS), crucial components in monitoring air quality and detecting hazardous gases, are well known for their poisoning effects when exposed to certain gas molecules, such as hydrogen sulfide. Surprisingly, our research reveals that high-temperature H2S treatment leads to an enhancement effect rather than response decay. This study investigates the time-decaying response enhancement, being attributed to the formation of metal sulfide and metal sulfate on the metal oxide's surface, enhancing the electronic sensitization. Such an enhancement effect is demonstrated for various gases, including CO, CH3CH2OH, CH4, HCHO, and NH3. Additionally, the impacts of H2S treatment on the response and recovery time are also observed. Surface compositional analysis are conducted with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A proposed mechanism for the enhancement effect is elaborated, highlighting the role of electronic sensitization and the sulfide-sulfate component. This research offers valuable insights into the potential applications of metal oxide sensors in sulfide-presented harsh environments in gas sensing, encouraging future exploration of optimized sensor materials, operation temperature, and the development of hydrogen sulfide poisoning-resistant and higher sensitivity MOGS.

Abstract
Healthcare tracking supports early diagnosis of illnesses, real-time tracking of the impacts of therapy and treatment, and tracking of cases of human health. Based on this, real-time tracking of sweat loss provides an easy, convenient, and noninvasive approach to the early diagnosis of physical illness in individuals. To date, copper oxide (CuO) as a nanostructured semiconductor metal-oxide is regarded as a hopefully p-type sensing material. The corresponding sweat rate monitoring systems were fabricated using a repeatable and cost-effective SILAR system using a cellulose acetate-based organic substrate. To provide a practical application, we investigated the working efficiency of Al:CuO under room conditions since most clinical and healthcare industries operate under ambient temperature. Fabricated flexible devices immediately respond to the implementation of the sweat solution and reach a steady-state value in a short time. It can be obtained from experimental results that the sweat-loss monitoring performances of CuO-based devices can be enhanced by employing Al-doping. The increment in the sensing efficacy was interpreted in terms of structural and morphological characterization and electrical data. Our designed flexible thin film-based system can be used in conjunction with a customized wearable, healthcare industry integrated, low-cost fabrication source.

Abstract
Adhesion lithography offers to fabrication of coplanar asymmetric nanogap electrodes with a low-cost and facile process. In this study, a gate-tunable diode with coplanar asymmetric nanogap is fabricated using adhesion lithography. A fluoropolymer material is introduced to the adhesion lithography process to ensure a manufacturing patterning process yield as high as 96.7%. The asymmetric electrodes formed a built-in potential, leading to rectifying behavior. The coplanar electrode structure allowed the use of a gate electrode in vertical contact with the channel, resulting in gate-tunable diode characteristics. The nanoscale channel induced a high current density (3.38 × 10-7 A∙cm-1 ), providing a high rectification ratio (1.67 × 105 A∙A-1 ). This rectifier diode is confirmed to operate with pulsed input signals and suggests the gate-tunability of nanogap diodes.

Abstract
The inhalation, ingestion, and body absorption of noxious gases lead to severe tissue damage, ophthalmological issues, and neurodegenerative disorders; death may even occur when recognized too late. In particular, methanol gas present in traces can cause blindness, non-reversible organ failure, and even death. Even though ample materials are available for the detection of methanol in other alcoholic analogs at ppm level, their scope is very limited because of the use of either toxic or expensive raw materials or tedious fabrication procedures. In this paper, we report on a simple synthesis of fluorescent amphiphiles achieved using a starting material derived from renewable resources, this material being methyl ricinoleate in good yields. The newly synthesized bio-based amphiphiles were prone to form a gel in a broad range of solvents. The morphology of the gel and the molecular-level interaction involved in the self-assembly process were thoroughly investigated. Rheological studies were carried out to probe the stability, thermal processability, and thixotropic behavior. In order to evaluate the potential application of the self-assembled gel in the field of sensors, we performed sensor measurements. Interestingly, the twisted fibers derived from the molecular assembly could be able to display a stable and selective response towards methanol. We believe that the bottom-up assembled system holds great promise in the environmental, healthcare, medicine, and biological fields.

Abstract
I Microhotplates are critical devices in various MEMS sensors that could provide appropriate operating temperatures. In this paper, a novel design of poly-Si membrane microhotplates with a heat compensation structure was reported. The main objective of this work was to design and fabricate the poly-Si microhotplate, and the thermal and electrical performance of the microhotplates were also investigated. The poly-Si resistive heater was deposited by LPCVD, and phosphorous doping was applied by in situ doping process to reduce the resistance of poly-Si. In order to obtain a uniform temperature distribution, a series of S-shaped compensation structures were fabricated at the edge of the resistive heater. LPCVD SiNx layers deposited on both sides of poly-Si were used as both the mechanical supporting layer and the electrical isolation layer. The Pt electrode was fabricated on the top of the microhotplate for temperature detection. The area of the heating membrane was 1 mm × 1 mm. Various parameters of the different size devices were simulated and measured, including temperature distribution, power consumption, thermal expansion and response time. The simulation and electrical-thermal measurement results were reported. For microhotplates with a heat compensation structure, the membrane temperature reached 811.7 °C when the applied voltage was 5.5 V at a heating power of 148.3 mW. A 3.8 V DC voltage was applied to measure the temperature distribution; the maximum temperature was 397.6 °C, and the area where the temperature reached 90% covered about 73.8% when the applied voltage was 3.8 V at a heating power of 70.8 mW. The heating response time was 17 ms while the microhotplate was heated to 400 °C from room temperature, and the cooling response time was 32 ms while the device was recovered to room temperature. This microhotplate has many advantages, such as uniform temperature distribution, low power consumption and fast response, which are suitable for MEMS gas sensors, humidity sensors, gas flow sensors, etc.

Simulation and Optimization of a Planar-Type Micro-Hotplate with Si3N4-SiO2 Transverse Composite Dielectric Layer and Annular Heater. MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:mi13040601.

Abstract
Micro-hotplates (MHPs) have become widely used basic structures in many micro sensors and actuators. Based on the analysis of the general heat transfer model, we propose a new MHP design based on a transversal composite dielectric layer, consisting of different heat transfer materials. Two general proven materials with different thermal conductivity, Si3N4 and SiO2, are chosen to form the composite dielectric layer. An annular heater is designed with a plurality of concentric rings connected with each other. The relationship between MHP performance and its geometrical parameters, including temperature distribution and uniformity, thermal deformation, and power dissipation, has been fully investigated using COMSOL simulation. The results demonstrate that the new planar MHP of 2 μm thick with a Si3N4-SiO2 composite dielectric layer and annular heater can reach 300 °C at a power of 35.2 mW with a mechanical deformation of 0.132 μm, at a large heating area of about 0.5 mm2. The introduction of the composite dielectric layer effectively reduces the lateral heat conduction loss and alleviates the mechanical deformation of the planar MHP compared with a single SiO2 dielectric layer or Si3N4 dielectric layer.

Abstract
We developed inexpensive and disposable gas sensors with a low environmental footprint. This approach is based on a biodegradable substrate, paper, and features safe and nontoxic electronic materials. We show that abrasion-induced deposited WS2 nanoplatelets on paper can be employed as a successful sensing layer to develop high-sensitivity and selective sensors, which operate even at room temperature. Its performance is investigated, at room temperature, against NO2 exposure, finding that the electrical resistance of the device drops dramatically upon NO2 adsorption, decreasing by ~42% (~31% half a year later) for 0.8 ppm concentration, and establishing a detection limit around~2 ppb (~3 ppb half a year later). The sensor is highly selective towards NO2 gas with respect to the interferents NH3 and CO, whose responses were only 1.8% (obtained for 30 ppm) and 1.5% (obtained for 8 ppm), respectively. Interestingly, an improved response of the developed sensor under humid conditions was observed (tested for 25% relative humidity at 23 °C). The high-performance, in conjunction with its small dimensions, low cost, operation at room temperature, and the possibility of using it as a portable system, makes this sensor a promising candidate for continuous monitoring of NO2 on-site.

Abstract
Micro-hotplate gas sensors are widely used in air quality monitoring, identification of hazardous chemicals, human health monitoring, and other fields due to their advantages of small size, low power consumption, excellent consistency, and fast response speed. The micro-hotplate gas sensor comprises a micro-hotplate and a gas-sensitive material layer. The micro-hotplate is responsible for providing temperature conditions for the sensor to work. The gas-sensitive material layer is responsible for the redox reaction with the gas molecules to be measured, causing the resistance value to change. The gas-sensitive material film with high stability, fantastic adhesion, and amazing uniformity is prepared on the surface of the micro-hotplate to realize the reliable assembly of the gas-sensitive material and the micro-hotplate, which can improve the response speed, response value, and selectivity. This paper first introduces the classification and structural characteristics of micro-hotplates. Then the assembly process and characteristics of various gas-sensing materials and micro-hotplates are summarized. Finally, the assembly method of the gas-sensing material and the micro-hotplate prospects.

Abstract
The technological developments of recent times have allowed the use of innovative approaches to support the diagnosis of various diseases. Many of such clinical conditions are often associated with metabolic unbalance, in turn producing an alteration of the gut microbiota even during asymptomatic stages. As such, studies regarding the microbiota composition in biological fluids obtained by humans are continuously growing, and the methodologies for their investigation are rapidly changing, making it less invasive and more affordable. To this extent, Electronic Nose and Electronic Tongue tools are gaining importance in the relevant field, making them a useful alternative—or support—to traditional analytical methods. In light of this, the present manuscript seeks to investigate the development and use of such tools in the gut microbiota assessment according to the current literature. Significant gaps are still present, particularly concerning the Electronic Tongue systems, however the current evidence highlights the strong potential such tools own to enter the daily clinical practice, with significant advancement concerning the patients’ acceptability and cost saving for healthcare providers.

Abstract
With the global population prevalence of diabetes surpassing 463 million cases in 2019 and diabetes leading to millions of deaths each year, there is a critical need for feasible, rapid, and non-invasive methodologies for continuous blood glucose monitoring in contrast to the current procedures that are either invasive, complicated, or expensive. Breath analysis is a viable methodology for non-invasive diabetes management owing to its potential for multiple disease diagnoses, the nominal requirement of sample processing, and immense sample accessibility; however, the development of functional commercial sensors is challenging due to the low concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in exhaled breath and the confounding factors influencing the exhaled breath profile. Given the complexity of the topic and the skyrocketing spread of diabetes, a multifarious review of exhaled breath analysis for diabetes monitoring is essential to track the technological progress in the field and comprehend the obstacles in developing a breath analysis-based diabetes management system. In this review, we consolidate the relevance of exhaled breath analysis through a critical assessment of current technologies and recent advancements in sensing methods to address the shortcomings associated with blood glucose monitoring. We provide a detailed assessment of the intricacies involved in the development of non-invasive diabetes monitoring devices. In addition, we spotlight the need to consider breath biomarker clusters as opposed to standalone biomarkers for the clinical applicability of exhaled breath monitoring. We present potential VOC clusters suitable for diabetes management and highlight the recent buildout of breath sensing methodologies, focusing on novel sensing materials and transduction mechanisms. Finally, we portray a multifaceted comparison of exhaled breath analysis for diabetes monitoring and highlight remaining challenges on the path to realizing breath analysis as a non-invasive healthcare approach.

Abstract
An electronic nose based on metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors has been used to identify liquors with excessive methanol. The technique for a square wave temperature modulated MOS sensor was applied to generate the response patterns and a back-propagation neural network was used for pattern recognition. The parameters of temperature modulation were optimized according to the difference in response features of target gases (methanol and ethanol). Liquors with excessive methanol were qualitatively and quantitatively identified by the neural network. The results showed that our electronic nose system could well identify the liquors with excessive methanol with more than 92% accuracy. This electronic nose based on temperature modulation is a promising portable adjunct to other available techniques for quality assurance of liquors and other alcoholic beverages.

Abstract
Trimethylamine (TMA) sensors based on metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have drawn great attention for real-time seafood quality evaluation. However, poor selectivity and baseline drift limit the practical applications of MOS TMA sensors. Engineering core@shell heterojunction structures with accumulation and depletion layers formed at the interface is regarded as an appealing way for enhanced gas sensing performances. Herein, we design porous hollow Co3O4@ZnO cages via a facile ZIF-67@ZIF-8-derived approach for TMA sensors. These sensors demonstrate great TMA resistive sensing performance (linear response at moderate TMA concentrations (<33 ppm)), and a high sensitivity of ∼41 is observed when exposed to 33 ppm TMA, with a response/recovery time of only 3/2 s. This superior performance benefits from the Co3O4@ZnO porous hollow structure with maximum heterojunctions and high surface area. Furthermore, great capacitive TMA sensing with linear sensitivity over the full testing concentration range (0.33-66 ppm) and better baseline stability were investigated. A possible capacitive sensing mechanism of TMA polarization was proposed. For practical usage, a portable sensing prototype based on the Co3O4@ZnO sensor was fabricated, and its satisfactory sensing behavior further confirms the potential for real-time TMA detection.
