Selective Detection of Target Volatile Organic Compounds in Contaminated Humid Air Using a Sensor Array with Principal Component Analysis.
Sensors 2017 July 20
We investigated selective detection of the target volatile organic compounds (VOCs) nonanal, n -decane, and acetoin for lung cancer-related VOCs, and acetone and methyl i -butyl ketone for diabetes-related VOCs, in humid air with simulated VOC contamination (total concentration: 300 μg/m³). We used six "grain boundary-response type" sensors, including four commercially available sensors (TGS 2600, 2610, 2610, and 2620) and two Pt, Pd, and Au-loaded SnO₂ sensors (Pt, Pd, Au/SnO₂), and two "bulk-response type" sensors, including Zr-doped CeO₂ (CeZr10), i.e., eight sensors in total. We then analyzed their sensor signals using principal component analysis (PCA). Although the six "grain boundary-response type" sensors were found to be insufficient for selective detection of the target gases in humid air, the addition of two "bulk-response type" sensors improved the selectivity, even with simulated VOC contamination. To further improve the discrimination, we selected appropriate sensors from the eight sensors based on the PCA results. The selectivity to each target gas was maintained and was not affected by contamination.
