Abstract
Herein, we develop colorimetric multigas sensor arrays assembling chemo-reactive fluorescent patch arrays and 10 × 10 indium gallium zinc oxide phototransistor arrays and apply them to an artificial olfactory platform to recognize five different volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Porous nanofibers, coupled with two organic emitters and emitting fluorescence, rapidly respond to gas-phased VOCs and offer unique fluorescent patterns associated with particular gas conditions, including gas kinds, concentrations, and exposure times by forming patch arrays with different fluorophore component ratios. These VOC-induced fluorescent patterns could be quantified and amplified by indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) phototransistor arrays functioning as a signal-generating component, resulting in gas-fingerprint patterns regarding electrical signals. Thus, the pattern library associated with VOCs and their concentration enables us to determine each airborne analyte as the artificial olfactory platform. Therefore, this system could achieve rapid, early quantitative recognition of hazardous gases and be applied as a preventative, portable, and wearable multigas identifier in various fields.
