Discrimination of Methanol from Ethanol in Gasoline Using a Membrane-type Surface Stress Sensor Coated with Copper(I) Complex

MDR Open Deposited

We successfully fabricated a novel sensing platform, a Membrane-type Surface stress Sensor (MSS) coated with copper(I) complex for specific molecular sensing. Based on the transduction of mechanical stresses derived from sorption-induced deformation of Cu(I) complex, detection performance of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been investigated. The fabricated sensor devices showed selective responses to methanol over a wide range of VOCs. In addition, distinct MSS signals upon exposure to methanol were observed for mixing samples of methanol in n-hexane and gasoline with clear discrimination of ethanol mixtures.
