Abstract
Current gaseous sensors hardly discriminate trace volatile organic compounds at the ppt level. Herein, we present an integrated platform for simultaneously enabling rapid preconcentration, reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering, (SERS) detection and automatic identification of trace aldehydes at the ppt level. For rapid preconcentration, we demonstrate that the nozzle-like microfluidic concentrator allows the enrichment of rare gaseous analytes by five-fold in only 0.01ms. The enriched gas is subsequently captured and detected by an integrated silicon-based SERS chip, which is made of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 coated silver nanoparticles grown in situ on a silicon wafer. After SERS measurement, a fully connected deep neural network is built to extract faint features in the spectral dataset and discriminate volatile organic compound classes. We demonstrate that six kinds of gaseous aldehydes at 100 ppt could be detected and classified with an identification accuracy of ∼80.9% by using this platform.
