Abstract

Relying on the nanometer-thick water core and large surface area-to-volume ratio (∼2 × 108 m-1) of common black film (CBF), we are able to use a pH-sensitive dye (carboxy-seminaphthorhodafluor-1, SNARF-1) to detect ammonia and acetic acid gas adsorption into the CBF, with the limit of detection reaching 0.8 ppm for NH3 gas and 3 ppb for CH3COOH gas in the air. Data analysis reveals that fluorescence signal change is linearly proportional to the gas concentration up to 15 ppm and 65 ppb for NH3 and CH3COOH, respectively.
