Developing low-temperature gas sensors for parts per billion-level acetone detection in breath analysis remains challenging for non-invasive diabetes monitoring. We implement dual-defect engineering via one-pot synthesis of Al-doped WO nanorod arrays, establishing a W-O-Al catalytic mechanism. Al doping induces lattice strain to boost oxygen vacancy density by 31.

In this paper, a single-quartz-enhanced photoacoustic-photothermal dual spectroscopy sensor based on a spherical acoustic resonator (SAR) is reported for the first time. The dual spectroscopy of quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) and quartz-enhanced photothermal spectroscopy (QEPTS), utilizing a single quartz tuning fork (QTF), eliminates the frequency mismatch issue that occurs when multiple QTFs are used. The dual spectroscopy model was constructed using the finite element method, which provides numerical simulation support for subsequent experiments.

High-sensitivity, multiparameter sensing is increasingly critical for environmental monitoring and electronics. Existing sensing platforms struggle to integrate precise, rapid, and stable monitoring of parts per billion-level hazardous gases and temperature within a single miniaturized device. This study developed a novel sensor based on two-dimensional (2D) indium selenide (InSe), complemented by first-principles density functional theory calculations elucidating the layer-dependent NO adsorption mechanism.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted considerable attention in gas sensing applications due to their highly tunable chemical composition and unique two-dimensional layered architecture. In this study, a series of ZnAl-LDHs with varying Zn/Al molar ratios were synthesized a facile hydrothermal method, and their ethanol sensing performance at room temperature was systematically evaluated. The influence of composition on the structural, morphological, and electronic properties of the materials was thoroughly investigated using a suite of characterization techniques, including XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS, PL, and EPR.

Early-stage cancer diagnosis is considered a grand challenge, and even though advanced analytical assays have been established through molecular biology techniques, there are still clinical limitations. For example, low concentration of target biomarkers at early stages of cancer, background values from the healthy cells, individual variation, and factors like DNA mutations, remain the limiting factor in early cancer detection. Volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers in exhaled breath are produced during cancer cell metabolism, and therefore may present a promising way to diagnose cancer at the early stage since they can be detected both rapidly and non-invasively.
