Full-color CO2 gas sensing by an inverse opal photonic hydrogel.
نویسندگان
چکیده
CO2 gas sensing is of great importance because of the impact of CO2 on global climate change. Here, utilizing an inverse opal hydrogel, we describe a CO2 gas sensing method that allows highly sensitive and selective detection over a wide concentration range. The CO2 sensor is specific, quantitative, interference tolerant and without the need for special instruments.

Two-dimensional inverse opal hydrogel for pH sensing.
A novel hydrogel film with a highly ordered macropore monolayer on its surface was prepared by templated photo-polymerization of hydrogel monomers on a two-dimensional (2D) polystyrene colloidal array. The 2D inverse opal hydrogel has prominent advantages over traditional three-dimensional (3D) inverse opal hydrogels. First, the formation of the 2D array template through a self-assembly method ...
متن کاملStimuli-responsive two-dimensional photonic crystals based on polyelectrolyte hydrogel for optically encoded sensing
The development of sensing techniques is driven by the ever increasing demand for miniaturized sensing platforms with fast response in areas such as bioassays, environmental monitoring and disease diagnostics. Photonic crystals (PCs) are periodically structured materials where the refractive index is periodically modulated on a length scale comparable to the light wavelength of interest, which ...
متن کاملHigh-temperature stable indium oxide photonic crystals: transducer material for optical and resistive gas sensing
Indium oxide (In2O3) inverse opal is a promising new transducer material for resistive and optical gas sensors. The periodically ordered and highly accessible pores of the inverse opal allow the design of resistive sensors with characteristics independent of structure limitations, such as diffusion effects or limited conductivity due to constricted crosslinking. Additionally the photonic proper...

We have synthesised an inverse opal hydrogel functionalised with a thiourea moiety as an anion recognition site. The resulting hydrogel showed remarkable changes of its structural colour with respect to acetate and bicarbonate ions selectively in aqueous solution, indicating a potential as colorimetric sensing materials for hydrophilic anions.
متن کاملTransformation of hydrogel-based inverse opal photonic sensors from FCC to L1(1) during swelling.
The structural evolution of Bragg diffracting inverse opal hydrogel sensors during swelling is directly observed by two-photon laser scanning fluorescence microscopy and compared to predictions from finite element analysis. A fluorescently labeled pH-sensitive hydrogel is UV-polymerized in a dried polystyrene colloidal crystal template, which is etched to yield an inverse opal. Fluorescence ima...
