Customizable Colorimetric Sensor Array via a High-Throughput Robot for Mitigation of Humidity Interference in Gas Sensing.
ACS sensors(2024)
摘要
One challenge for gas sensors is humidity interference, as dynamic humidity conditions can cause unpredictable fluctuations in the response signal to analytes, increasing quantitative detection errors. Here, we introduce a concept: Select humidity sensors from a pool to compensate for the humidity signal for each gas sensor. In contrast to traditional methods that extremely suppress the humidity response, the sensor pool allows for more accurate gas quantification across a broader range of application scenarios by supplying customized, high-dimensional humidity response data as extrinsic compensation. As a proof-of-concept, mitigation of humidity interference in colorimetric gas quantification was achieved in three steps. First, across a ten-dimensional variable space, an algorithm-driven high-throughput experimental robot discovered multiple local optimum regions where colorimetric humidity sensing formulations exhibited high evaluations on sensitivity, reversibility, response time, and color change extent for 10-90% relative humidity (RH) in room temperature (25 °C). Second, from the local optimum regions, 91 sensing formulations with diverse variables were selected to construct a parent colorimetric humidity sensor array as the sensor pool for humidity signal compensation. Third, the quasi-optimal sensor subarrays were identified as customized humidity signal compensation solutions for different gas sensing scenarios across an approximately full dynamic range of humidity (10-90% RH) using an ingenious combination optimization strategy, and two accurate quantitative detections were attained: one with a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) reduction from 4.4 to 0.75% and the other from 5.48 to 1.37%. Moreover, the parent sensor array's excellent humidity selectivity was validated against 10 gases. This work demonstrates the feasibility and superiority of robot-assisted construction of a customizable parent colorimetric sensor array to mitigate humidity interference in gas quantification.
