Article Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared via in situ chemical polymerization process of aniline, in which MWCNTs were spray coated on the fabric for wearable ammonia sensor. Structural, morphological, thermal properties and wettability were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Raman analysis and contact angle measurement. No substantial change in base resistance of MWCNTs/PANI fabric sensor was observed for a wide range of bending (from 90° to 270°) shows excellent wearability. The sensors were exposed to 20-100 ppm ammonia vapor at room temperature. It was observed that the sensing response of PANI coated MWCNTs was enhanced than MWCNTs and PANI. The sensor has the capability to detect ammonia with high sensitivity (92% for100 ppm), excellent selectivity quick response (9 s), and recovery time (30 s). The lower detection limit (LOD) for the MWCNTs/PANI fabric sensor was found to be 200 ppb. The influence of humidity on sensing parameters was studied. Sensing response and resistance of sensor have shown excellent stability after one month. We observed that PANI have a dual role in enhancing flexibility as well as improve the sensor performance toward ammonia. The results reveal the potential application of fabric based sensor for monitoring NH gas under ambient conditions.

Current electrosynthesis catalysts typically rely on nanomaterial-based engineering with multi-dimensional structural modifications. However, such approaches may not always be necessary, especially for underexplored industrial electrochemical conversions. Here, we demonstrate that commercial platinum (Pt) foil catalysts excel in the electrochemical co-oxidation of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-derived ethylene glycol (EG) and ammonia (NH) into formamide (HCONH), a process traditionally reliant on energy-intensive methods.

A 0D/1D/2D Au/PANI/MoS hierarchical nanocomposite based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) was successfully synthesized through in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. This composite overcomes the performance bottlenecks of single or dual-component combinations through a multi-dimensional synergy of "interface coordination-charge penetration-path optimization-stability enhancement." The built-in electric field generated by the p-n heterojunction formed between PANI and MoS₂ can drive the directional migration of carriers, thereby optimizing the carrier transport process.

We demonstrate the possibility of using an array of MINT-based chemiresistors for the selective detection of VOCs at room temperature. Four new types of MINTs with different functional groups (MINT (X:-CH = CH), MINT (X:-COOMe), MINT (X:-COOH), and MINT (X:-CHOH)) were specifically synthesized to prepare a set of six sensing layers, which included, in addition to the new MINTs, a pristine SWNTs layer and a MINT layer. The functionalized sensing layers were tested by exposing them to NH, NO, EtOH, IPA, acetone, benzene, and NaClO vapors in the ppm range.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have demonstrated significant potential in wearable exhaled gas sensing due to their excellent mechanical flexibility, multiparameter measurement capabilities, and signal amplification advantages. However, combining excellent sensing performance with good mechanical robustness remains a key challenge that must be addressed in practical applications. In this study, we developed a flexible gas sensor by incorporating the elastomer styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene to enhance the strain stability of the semiconductor layer.

Synthesizing the circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) assemblies with strong intensity and real-time handedness direction control requires an ingenious structure design, which is difficult in traditional optical materials. This work utilizes the self-assembled cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as the chiral template and packages the luminophores into the platform, to design a kind of CPL nanofilm. By optimizing the photonic bandgap structure, it possesses a considerable CPL and superior mechanical flexibility, which makes it a candidate for the next generation of wearable sensing devices.
