Abstract
The escalating development and improvement of gas sensing ability in industrial equipment, or "machine olfactory", propels the evolution of gas sensors toward enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, stability, power efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and longevity. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, distinguished by their atomic-thin profile, expansive specific surface area, remarkable mechanical strength, and surface tunability, hold significant potential for addressing the intricate challenges in gas sensing. However, a comprehensive review of 2D materials-based gas sensors for specific industrial applications is absent. This review delves into the recent advances in this field and highlights the potential applications in industrial machine olfaction. The main content encompasses industrial scenario characteristics, fundamental classification, enhancement methods, underlying mechanisms, and diverse gas sensing applications. Additionally, the challenges associated with transitioning 2D material gas sensors from laboratory development to industrialization and commercialization are addressed, and future-looking viewpoints on the evolution of next-generation intelligent gas sensory systems in the industrial sector are prospected.

Abstract
With the development of science and technology, the scale of industrial production continues to grow, and the types and quantities of gas raw materials used in industrial production and produced during the production process are also constantly increasing. These gases include flammable and explosive gases, and even contain toxic gases. Therefore, it is very important and necessary for gas sensors to detect and monitor these gases quickly and accurately. In recent years, a new two-dimensional material called MXene has attracted widespread attention in various applications. Their abundant surface functional groups and sites, excellent current conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, and outstanding stability make them promising for gas sensor applications. Since the birth of MXene materials, researchers have utilized the efficient and convenient solution etching preparation, high flexibility, and easily functionalize MXene with other materials to prepare composites for gas sensing. This has opened a new chapter in high-performance gas sensing materials and provided a new approach for advanced sensor research. However, previous reviews on MXene-based composite materials in gas sensing only focused on the performance of gas sensing, without systematically explaining the gas sensing mechanisms generated by different gases, as well as summarizing and predicting the advantages and disadvantages of MXene-based composite materials. This article reviews the latest progress in the application of MXene-based composite materials in gas sensing. Firstly, a brief summary was given of the commonly used methods for preparing gas sensing device structures, followed by an introduction to the key attributes of MXene related to gas sensing performance. This article focuses on the performance of MXene-based composite materials used for gas sensing, such as MXene/graphene, MXene/Metal oxide, MXene/Transition metal sulfides (TMDs), MXene/Metal-organic framework (MOF), MXene/Polymer. It summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of MXene composite materials with different composites and discusses the possible gas sensing mechanisms of MXene-based composite materials for different gases. Finally, future directions and inroads of MXenes-based composites in gas sensing are presented and discussed.

Abstract
Developing high-performance chemiresistive gas sensors with mechanical compliance for environmental or health-related biomarker monitoring has recently drawn increasing research attention. Among them, two-dimensional MXene materials hold great potential for room-temperature hazardous gas (e.g., NH3) monitoring regardless of the complicated fabrication process, insufficient 2D/3D flexibilities, and poor environmental sustainability. Herein, a Ti3C2Tx MXene/gelatin ink was developed for patterning electrodes through a facile spray coating. Particularly, the patterned Ti3C2Tx-based coating exhibited good adhesion on the paper substrate against repeated peeling-off and excellent mechanical flexibility against 1000 cyclic stretching. The porous morphology of the coating facilitated the NH3 sensing ability. As a result, the 2D kirigami-shaped NH3 sensor exhibited a good response of 7% to 50 ppm of NH3 with detectable concentrations ranging from 5-500 ppm, decent selectivity over interferences, etc., which could be well-maintained even at 50% stretched state. In addition, with the help of mechanically guided compressive buckling, 3D mesostructured MXene origamis could be obtained, holding promise for detecting the coming direction and height distribution of hazardous gas, e.g., the NH3. More importantly, the as-fabricated MXene/gelatin origami paper could be fully degraded in PBS/H2O2/cellulase solution within 19 days, demonstrating its potential as a high-performance, shape morphable, and environmentally friendly wearable gas sensor.

Abstract
In this study, precise control over the thickness and termination of Ti3C2TX MXene flakes is achieved to enhance their electrical properties, environmental stability, and gas-sensing performance. Utilizing a hybrid method involving high-pressure processing, stirring, and immiscible solutions, sub-100 nm MXene flake thickness is achieved within the MXene film on the Si-wafer. Functionalization control is achieved by defunctionalizing MXene at 650 °C under vacuum and H2 gas in a CVD furnace, followed by refunctionalization with iodine and bromine vaporization from a bubbler attached to the CVD. Notably, the introduction of iodine, which has a larger atomic size, lower electronegativity, reduce shielding effect, and lower hydrophilicity (contact angle: 99°), profoundly affecting MXene. It improves the surface area (36.2 cm2 g-1), oxidation stability in aqueous/ambient environments (21 days/80 days), and film conductivity (749 S m-1). Additionally, it significantly enhances the gas-sensing performance, including the sensitivity (0.1119 Ω ppm-1), response (0.2% and 23% to 50 ppb and 200 ppm NO2), and response/recovery times (90/100 s). The reduced shielding effect of the -I-terminals and the metallic characteristics of MXene enhance the selectivity of I-MXene toward NO2. This approach paves the way for the development of stable and high-performance gas-sensing two-dimensional materials with promising prospects for future studies.

Abstract
With more attention on personal privacy and the need for a security defense, it is necessary to design an intelligent lock system with a higher security performance. Here, a novel high security double lock system integrating triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with a double bubble structure (DB-TENG) and deep learning models is proposed. The TENG as a self-powered sensor is developed using silicone rubber and copper foil. By optimizing the thickness of the top layer film, surface microstructure, the size of the air bubble, and design of the double bubble structure, the sensitivity of the DB-TENG reaches 19.08 V/kPa. For the feasibility study, the sensor is fabricated to a smart belt to collect respiratory behaviors as a respiratory code. A Long Short-Term Memory network is adopted to identify four typical respiratory signals with an average accuracy of 97.00%. The system is deployed on a Raspberry Pi to determine whether the user is permitted through both the collected respiratory code and the related face image and will send an alarm message if one of the two does not match. It is worth mentioning that users can send alarm signals undiscovered by controlling their respiratory signals. Therefore, the proposed system has superb potential in security demanding environments.

Alcohol Vapor Sensor Based on Quasi-2D Nb 2O 5 Derived from Oxidized Nb 2CT z MXenes. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 24:38. [PMID: 38202899 PMCID: PMC10780349 DOI: 10.3390/s24010038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) materials with a great potential for sensor applications due to their high aspect ratio and fully functionalized surface that can be tuned for specific gas adsorption. Here, we demonstrate that the Nb2CTz-based sensor exhibits high performance towards alcohol vapors at temperatures up to 300-350 °C, with the best sensitivity towards ethanol. We attribute the observed remarkable chemiresistive effect of this material to the formation of quasi-2D Nb2O5 sheets as the result of the oxidation of Nb-based MXenes. These findings are supported by synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies together with X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy observations. For analyte selectivity, we employ a multisensor approach where the gas recognition is achieved by linear discriminant analysis of the vector response of the on-chip sensor array. The reported protocol demonstrates that MXene layers are efficient precursors for the derivation of 2D oxide architectures, which are suitable for developing gas sensors and sensor arrays.

Abstract
The low surface-charge density, poor stability and irreparable surface of triboelectric materials under harsh environments are still some obstacles for developing high-performance triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). In particular, a two-dimensional MXene material's surface is likely to be corroded by water molecules under high humidity conditions owing to its hydrophilic nature, limiting the output performance and stability of TENGs. Herein, an approach for fabricating a humidity- and contamination-resistant MXene-based TENG is established using the electrospinning technique. First, nanofibrous layers of MXene/MoS2 composites blended in a cellulosic polymer matrix were prepared, benefitting the high surface roughness and controlled air-trapping pores. Furthermore, the prepared nanofibrous layers were chemically modified with stearic acid (SA), which enhances the hydrophobicity and electronegativity of MXene/MoS2 composites. In a typical synthesis, four different compositions of MXene/MoS2/cellulose acetate nanofibers were prepared, which illustrates that an increasing concentration of MoS2 could effectively tune the surface oxidation, hydrophilic nature, and surface roughness of MXene as well as induce a piezoelectricity-enhanced triboelectric potential. On the other side, the SA modification ultimately generated a superhydrophobic surface with low surface energy and a high water contact angle of ∼154°. The integrated TENG displayed an enhanced output voltage of ∼140 V and an instantaneous power density of ∼2975 mW cm-2 with long-term stability under high humidity conditions. Additionally, the self-cleaning properties were demonstrated, ensuring the sustainability and reusability of the TENG in a contaminated environment. Moreover, the fabricated MXene-based superhydrophobic layer can harvest the energy on dripping water droplets based on the liquid-solid contact-electrification TENG mode. Overall, this work paves the way for the design and development of humidity- and contamination-resistant triboelectric materials and guides the study of harvesting of distributed environmental energy efficiently.

Abstract
As a typical representative of conductive polymers (CPs), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is intensively employed for chemiresistive ammonia (NH3) sensing on account of its favorable aqueous solubility, benign environmental stability, and outstanding room-temperature conductivity; however, it is severely plagued by low sensitivity and sluggish reaction kinetics. To circumvent these limitations, the guest-alkalized cellulose nanofibers (AC) were introduced into the host PEDOT:PSS matrix by the layer-by-layer spraying assembly method (LBLSA) in this work. The componential proportion-optimized PEDOT:PSS/AC/PEDOT:PSS (P/AC/P) sensor delivered a large sensitivity of 20.2%/ppm within 0.1-3 ppm of NH3 at 21 °C@26% RH, an experimental limit of detection (LoD) as low as 30 ppb, a high response of 18.1%, and a short response/recovery times (4.8/4.0 s) toward 1 ppm of NH3, which ranked among the best cases thus far. Also, excellent repeatability and long-term stability and selectivity were demonstrated. Meanwhile, the flexible P/AC/P sensors worked well under various bending angles and bending times. This work combines a green material system and a facile film deposition method to overcome the liquid dispersion incompatibility when preparing a multicomponent mixture for swift trace NH3 detection. The universality and extensibility of this methodology endow a broad prospect in the field of future wearable optoelectronic systems.

Abstract
Metal oxide gas sensors have long faced the challenge of low response and poor selectivity, especially at room temperature (RT). Herein, a synergistic effect of electron scattering and space charge transfer is proposed to comprehensively improve gas sensing performance of n-type metal oxides toward oxidizing NO2 (electron acceptor) at RT. To this end, the porous SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) assembled from grains of about 4 nm with rich oxygen vacancies are developed through an acetylacetone-assisted solvent evaporation approach combined with precise N2 and air calcinations. The results show that the as-fabricated porous SnO2 NPs sensor exhibits an unprecedented NO2 -sensing performance, including outstanding response (Rg /Ra = 772.33 @ 5 ppm), fast recovery (<2 s), an extremely low detection limit (10 ppb), and exceptional selectivity (response ratio >30) at RT. Theoretical calculation and experimental tests confirm that the excellent NO2 sensing performance is mainly attributed to the unique synergistic effect of electron scattering and space charge transfer. This work proposes a useful strategy for developing high-performance RT NO2 sensors using metal oxides, and provides an in-depth understanding for the basic characteristics of the synergistic effect on gas sensing, paving the way for efficient and low power consumption gas detection at RT.

Abstract
Detection of ammonia (NH3) gas at room temperature is essential in a variety of sectors, including pollution monitoring, commercial safety and medical services, etc. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as fascinating candidates for gas-sensing applications due to their distinct properties. MXenes, a type of 2D transition metal carbides/nitrides/carbonotrides, have drawn the interest of researchers due to their high conductivity, large surface area, and changing surface chemistry. The review begins by describing the NH3 gas-detecting methods of 2D materials and then concentrates on MXene-based sensors, emphasising the benefits that MXenes provide in this context. The study also explains the prime factors involved in evaluating sensor performance, which include sensor response, sensitivity, selectivity, stability, charge transfer values, adsorption energy and response/recovery times. Subsequently, the review covers two main categories: pristine/intercalated MXenes and MXene-based hybrid materials. The review investigates the approaches for improving the sensing characteristics of pristine and intercalated MXenes by introducing MXene hybrids like MXene-metal oxide hybrids, MXene-transition metal dichalcogenides hybrid, MXene-other 2D materials hybrid, MXene-polymers and other hybrids and other MXene-derived materials. In summary, this review offers a thorough overview of current advancements and potential applications for room-temperature ammonia sensors based on 2D MXenes and their hybrids. In order to pave the way for future improvements in MXene-based gas-sensing technology for room temperature ammonia detection, the study concludes by outlining potential future scope and conclusions.

The interfacial characteristics of cellulose are introduced from the top-down, bottom-up, and interfacial characteristics of the composite material preparation process. Meanwhile, the modulation strategies of triboelectric properties of cellulosic triboelectric materials are presented. Furthermore, the design strategies of triboelectric materials such as surface functionalization, interfacial structure design, and vacuum-assisted self-assembly are systematically discussed. In particular, cellulosic self-powered wearable electronics in the fields of human energy harvesting, tactile sensing, health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and intelligent fire warning are outlined in detail.

Abstract
The morphology adjustment and functional doping optimization of polypyrrole (PPy) are of great significance in improving its gas sensing performance. Here, the PPy-0.5TcCoPc nanorods with a uniform dispersed 3-D network were prepared using one-step in situ polymerization using the electrostatic interaction between dopant counterion substituents in tetra-β-carboxylate cobalt phthalocyanine tetrasodium salt (TcCoPcTs) with larger space structure and pyrrole (Py) molecules, in which TcCoPcTs is not only used as a dopant molecule crosslinking PPy chains to obtain a 3-D network, thus improving the conductivity, but also as a sensor accelerator to improve the gas-sensing performance. The resulting PPy-TcCoPc hybrid exhibits superior NH3-sensing properties than PPy and tetra-β-carboxylate cobalt phthalocyanine (TcCoPc) under the same test conditions, especially the PPy-0.5TcCoPc sensor shows ultrafast response/recovery time to 50 ppm NH3 (8.1 s/370.8 s), low detection limit of 8.1 ppb and excellent gas selectivity at room temperature (20 °C). Besides, the PPy-0.5TcCoPc sensor also maintains superior response (49.3% to 50 ppm NH3), humidity resistance and conspicuous stability over 45 days. The excellent NH3-sensing performance of the PPy-0.5TcCoPc hybrid arises from the excellent gas selectivity of TcCoPc, the remarkable response mechanism between PPy and NH3, the high electrical conductivity, abundant active sites and good electron transport ability of the unique 3-D network with large specific surface area. The morphology regulation and functional doping optimization strategy of TcCoPcTs doped PPy broaden the research direction of ideal gas sensor materials.

Abstract
NH3 gas in human exhaled breath contains abundant physiological information related to human health, especially chronic kidney disease (CKD). Unfortunately, up to now, most wearable NH3 sensors show inevitable defects (low sensitivity, easy to be interfered by the environment, etc.), which may lead to misdiagnosis of CKD. To solve the above dilemma, a nanoporous, heterogeneous, and dual-signal (optical and electrical) wearable NH3 sensor mask is developed successfully. More specifically, a polyacrylonitrile/bromocresol green (PAN/BCG) nanofiber film as a visual NH3 sensor and a polyacrylonitrile/polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide (PAN/PANI/rGO) nanofiber film as a resistive NH3 sensor are constructed. Due to the high specific surface area and abundant NH3 binding sites of these two nanofiber films, they exhibit good NH3 sensing performance. However, although the visual NH3 sensor (PAN/BCG nanofiber film) is simple without the need of any detecting facilities and quite stable when temperature and humidity change, it shows poor sensitivity and resolution. In comparison, the resistive NH3 sensor (PAN/PANI/rGO nanofiber film) is of high sensitivity, fast response, and good resolution, but its electrical signal is easily interfered by the external environment (such as humidity, temperature, etc.). Considering that the sensing principles between a visual NH3 sensor and resistive NH3 sensor are significantly different, a wearable dual-signal NH3 sensor containing both a visual NH3 sensor and resistive NH3 sensor is further explored. Our data prove that the two sensing signals in this dual-signal NH3 sensor mask can not only work well without interference with each other but also complement each other to improve the sensing accuracy, indicating its potential application in non-invasive diagnosis of CKD.

[PMID: 36837107 PMCID: PMC9967199 DOI: 10.3390/ma16041478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
A coaxial optical fiber interferometer (COFI) is proposed here for ammonia sensing, which comprises two light-carrying single-mode fibers (SMF) fused to a section of no-core fiber (NCF), thus forming an optical interferometer. The outer surface of the COFI is coated with a layer of polyacrylic acid (PAA)/polyaniline (PAni) film. The refractive index (RI) of the sensitive layer varies when PAA/PAni interacts with ammonia, which leads to the resonance wavelength shift. The surface morphology and structure of the PAA/PAni composites were characterized by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. When the sensor was exposed to an ammonia atmosphere of different concentrations at room temperature, the sensing performance of the PAA/PAni composite film was superior to that of a sensitive film formed by single-component PAA or PAni. According to the experimental results, the composite film formed by 5 wt% PAA mixed with 2 wt% PAni shows better performance when used for ammonia sensing. A maximum sensitivity of 9.8 pm/ppm was obtained under the ammonia concentration of 50 ppm. In addition, the sensor shows good performance in response time (100 s) and recovery time (180 s) and has good stability and selectivity. The proposed optical fiber ammonia sensor is adapted to monitor leakage in its production, storage, transportation, and application.

Abstract
Digitized telemedicine tools with the Internet of Things (IoT) started advancing into our daily lives and have been incorporated with commercial wearable gadgets for noninvasive remote health monitoring. The newly established tools have been steered toward a new era of decentralized healthcare. The advancement of a telemedicine wearable monitoring system has attracted enormous interest in the multimodal big data acquisition of real-time physiological and biochemical information via noninvasive methods for any health-related industries. The expectation of telemedicine wearable creation has been focused on early diagnosis of multiple diseases and minimizing the cost of high-tech and invasive treatments. However, only limited progress has been directed toward the development of telemedicine wearable sensors. This Perspective addresses the advancement of these wearable sensors that encounter multiple challenges on the forefront and technological gaps hampering the realization of health monitoring at molecular levels related to smart materials mostly limited to single use, issues of selectivity to analytes, low sensitivity to targets, miniaturization, and lack of artificial intelligence to perform multiple tasks and secure big data transfer. Sensor stability with minimized signal drift, on-body sensor reusability, and long-term continuous health monitoring provides key analytical challenges. This Perspective also focuses on, promotes, and highlights wearable sensors with a distinct capability to interconnect with telemedicine healthcare for physical sensing and multiplex sensing at deeper levels. Moreover, it points out some critical challenges in different material aspects and promotes what it will take to advance the current state-of-art wearable sensors for telemedicine healthcare. Ultimately, this Perspective is to draw attention to some potential blind spots of wearable technology development and to inspire further development of this integrated technology in mitigating multimorbidity in aging societies through health monitoring at molecular levels to identify signs of diseases.

Abstract
Sensitive determination of ofloxacin (OFL) is very essential for human health and environmental protection. Here, a novel composite of gold nanoparticles(nAu)@MXene(Ti3C2Tx)/poly-p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid (PABSA) was fabricated on the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and used to sensitively determine OFL. The results of experiments showed that the obtained nAu@Ti3C2Tx/PABSA/GCE electrode could be used as an electrochemical sensor to directly detect ofloxacin (OFL) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under the optimal conditions, the proposed electrode displayed a broader linear range and a lower detection limit (LOD) for OFL determination when it was compared to those similar sensors. The linear range was from 5.0 × 10-8 to 5.0 × 10-4 mol/L and the LOD was 3.7 × 10-8 mol/L (S/N = 3). The nAu@Ti3C2Tx/PABSA/GCE electrode also showed good selectivity, repeatability, and reproducibility. Finally, the proposed electrode was used to detect OFL in commercial samples by the standard addition method. The obtained recovery was from 97.3% and 105.7% showing its potential applications in actual sample analysis.

Abstract
Gas-sensitive materials are capable of dynamic identification and content monitoring of specific gases in the environment, and their applications in the field of gas sensing are promising. However, weak adsorption properties are the main challenge limiting the application of gas-sensitive materials. A highly adsorbent gas-sensitive cellulose nanofibril (CNF)-based triboelectric material with a layered structure is prepared here and it is applied to self-powered gas sensing. The layered structure of the triethoxy-1H,1H,2H,2H-tridecafluoro-n-octylsilane cellulose nanofiber (PFOTES-CNF)-based gas-sensitive material further enhances the adsorption of the material due to electrostatic adsorption in the electrostatic field induced by triboelectricity. It is found that the ammonia-sensitive material obtained by loading Ti3 C2 Tx in PFOTES-CNF has a fast response/recovery (12/14 s), high sensitivity response (Vair /Vgas = 2.1), high selectivity response (37.6%), and low detection limit (10 ppm) for 100 ppm of ammonia gas. In addition, the ammonia-sensitive CNF-based triboelectric material can accurately identify NH3 concentration changes in the range of 10-120 ppm and transmit the signal wirelessly to the user interface, facilitating real-time online monitoring of NH3 in the environment. A novel strategy is provided here for designing and preparing high-performance gas-sensitive composites and the analysis of self-powered gas sensing is guided.
