In this study, we demonstrate a compact reflective gas sensing probe based on a negative-curvature hollow-core fiber. The probe's design simplifies gas detection by eliminating the need for additional tubing, thereby improving the response time of gas sensing with hollow-core fibers. Using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy and wavelength modulation spectroscopy, we achieved detection limits of ∼1.5 for near-infrared methane sensing and below 100 ppb for mid-infrared detection. The probe's straightforward construction and compact form factor make it suitable for measurements in hard-to-reach locations, offering a practical solution for gas leak detection and environmental monitoring.

In this study, employing a 2D electrodeposition in situ assembly method, a high-performance HS sensor based on a p-n type CuO-CuFeO heterostructure ordered nanowire arrays was successfully fabricated on silicon substrates. Compared to CuO, CuO-CuFeO nanowire arrays exhibits an ideal interfacial barrier structure and higher initial resistance, with a response to 10 ppm of HS at room temperature (20 ± 3 °C) increased by 225 times and a response time reduced by over 2400 s. The sensor demonstrates exceptional sensitivity (LOD = 10 ppb; response = 234.

Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new generation of porous materials and are considered for various applications such as sensing, water or gas capture, and water purification. MIL-88 A (Fe) is one of the earliest and most researched flexible MOFs, but to date, there is a lack in the structural aspects that govern its dynamic behaviour. Here, we report the first crystal structure of DMF-solvated MIL-88 A and investigate the impact of real structure effects on the dynamic behaviour of MIL-88 A (Fe), particularly upon water adsorption.
