Abstract
This study presents a colorimetric/electrical dual-sensing system (CEDS) for low-power, high-precision, adaptable, and real-time detection of hydrogen sulfide (HS) gas. The lead acetate/poly(vinyl alcohol) (Pb(Ac)/PVA) nanofiber film was transferred onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flexible substrate by electrospinning to obtain colorimetric/electrical sensors. The CEDS was constructed to simultaneously record both the visual and electrical response of the sensor, and the improved Manhattan segmentation algorithm and deep neural network (DNN) were used as its intelligent algorithmic aids to achieve quantitative exposure to HS. By exploring the mechanism of color change and resistance response of the sensor, a dual-sensitivity mechanism explanation model was proposed to verify that the system, as a dual-mode parallel system, can adequately solve the sensor redundancy problem. The results show that the CEDS can achieve a wide detection range of HS from 0.1-100 ppm and identify the HS concentration in 4 s at the fastest. The sensor can be stabilized for 180 days with excellent selectivity and a low limit of detection (LOD) to 0.1 ppm of HS. In addition, the feasibility of the CEDS for measuring HS levels in underground waterways was validated. This work provides a new method for adaptable, wide range of applications and low-power, high-precision HS gas detection.
