Direct methods include separated electron spool resonance (MIESR); indirect methods include laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), peroxy radical chemical amplification (PERCA), and peroxy radical chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS). Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, MIESR is complex to operate and has low time resolution; LIF and CIMS are complex and expensive, and are susceptible to interference from HO2 measurements; PERCA suffers from the influence of humidity on chain length. Currently, there is a need to develop a device that is accurate, easy to operate, and can operate stably.

[0020] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example
[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The peroxy radical chemical amplification device includes a sampling-amplification channel 1, a first acquisition control circuit module 2 for controlling the electronic control program of the device system, an H2O photolysis module 3, a second acquisition control circuit module 4 for controlling the electronic control program of the device system, and a gas path module 5 for controlling the airflow direction of the device system.
[0022] Specifically, the sampling-amplification channel 1 includes an inlet 101, a first temperature and humidity sensor 102, a system housing 103, a nano-distribution tube 104, an H2O photolysis structure 105, a second temperature and humidity sensor 106, a third temperature and humidity sensor 107, a zero gas generator 108, a detection instrument 109, a reversing four-way solenoid valve 110, a gas distributor 111, and a filter 112. The first temperature and humidity sensor 102 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inlet 101, the system housing 103 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inlet 101, and the nano-distribution tube 104 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inlet 101. The surface of the sample inlet 101 is as follows: H2O photolysis structure 105 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101; second temperature and humidity sensor 106 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101; third temperature and humidity sensor 107 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101; zero gas generator 108 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101; detection instrument 109 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101; reversing four-way solenoid valve 110 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101; gas mixer 111 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101; and filter 112 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sample inlet 101.
[0023] Furthermore, the sampling-amplification channel 1 is made of Teflon material with low loss of peroxy free radicals. The second temperature and humidity sensor 106 and the third temperature and humidity sensor 107 are used to monitor the drying efficiency of ambient gas in the nano-distribution tube 104. The H2O photolysis module 3 is set to use a 184nm ultraviolet lamp as the energy source for water photolysis to reduce energy loss. The H2O photolysis module 3 is set to use N2 as the carrier gas for water. The second acquisition and control circuit module 4 is used to provide energy with a wavelength of 184.0nm through a low-pressure mercury lamp to generate free radicals.
[0024] In this embodiment, the sampling-amplification channel 1 is used for the reaction of peroxy radicals and NO, fixing the free radical concentration level to the NO2 concentration level, and then reversing the free radical concentration based on humidity, reaction chain length, etc. The H2O photolysis module 3 uses water photolysis to generate hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen radicals, which then react with oxygen in the air to generate peroxy radicals, used to calculate the number of reaction cycles under specific external environmental conditions; the gas path module 5 consists of a Teflon-coated gasket and an electromagnetic reversing four-way valve that do not affect the reaction, enabling rapid switching between background gas and reaction gas in the amplification reaction, achieving accurate measurement of the background and amplification reaction of the equipment; the first acquisition control circuit module 2 and the second acquisition control circuit module 4 provide stable and reliable digital control of the above components and the reaction, and can correctly acquire reaction condition information; in the sampling-amplification channel 1, since the airflow power is provided by the equipment detection instrument 109, precise flow control of the sampling and amplification process can be achieved by directly controlling the flow of the detection instrument 109; in the sampling-amplification channel 1, the sampler uses an aluminum structural component with a surface coated with polytetrafluoroethylene. The strength of the sampler structure is ensured and the quenching phenomenon of peroxy free radicals when they encounter the metal surface is avoided. The upper and lower ends of the sampling-amplification channel 1 are respectively equipped with a first temperature and humidity sensor 102 and a second temperature and humidity sensor 106 with high precision to monitor the drying efficiency of the ambient gas in the nano-distribution tube 104. In the sampling-amplification channel 1, the nano-distribution tube 104 is used as the reaction chamber. The nano-distribution tube 104 possesses high-efficiency water removal performance, promoting the chain reaction of peroxide free radicals within the chamber. The H2O photolysis module 3 uses a 184nm ultraviolet lamp as the energy source for water photolysis. The quartz tube irradiated with ultraviolet light has high ultraviolet light transmittance, reducing energy loss. The H2O photolysis module 3 uses N2 as the carrier gas for water. Under ultraviolet irradiation, N2 exhibits good stability, avoiding ozone byproducts generated when using air as the carrier gas. The H2O photolysis module 3 is equipped with a high-precision nano-distribution tube 104, providing relatively accurate temperature and humidity data. Combined with ambient pressure, it can accurately calculate the absolute water content in nitrogen, avoiding differences in water content under different temperature conditions. The H2O photolysis module 3 controls the ratio of dry zero gas and saturated wet zero gas through a high-flow meter to simulate different humidity conditions. The difference in the calculated reaction chain length under different humidity conditions is used to compensate for the influence of humidity on the calculated reaction chain length. The gas path module 5 uses an electromagnetic four-way valve that can switch the airflow direction to achieve the exchange of reactant gas and background gas. When measuring the background, nitrogen gas, which does not participate in the reaction, is introduced from the upper end of the sampling-amplification channel 1. When measuring the reaction conditions, CO gas, which can participate in and promote the reaction, is introduced from the upper end to promote the reaction.
[0025] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] The sample gas enters the sampling tube through the sampling port 101. At the second three-way connector, it participates in a chain reaction with NO and CO gases within the nano-analyte tube 104, fixing the free radical concentration to NO2. The NO2 then passes through the bottom three-way connector of the nano-analyte tube 104, mixes with N2, passes through filter 112 to remove residual peroxy free radicals, and enters the detector 109 for measurement. This process is the measurement mode. Alternatively, the sample gas enters the sampling tube through the sampling port 101. At the second three-way connector, it mixes with NO and N2 gases within the nano-analyte tube 104. The NO2 then passes through the bottom three-way connector of the nano-analyte tube 104, mixes with CO, passes through filter 112 to remove residual peroxy free radicals, and enters the detector 109 for measurement. This process is the reference mode. By measuring the difference between the two modes, the content of peroxy free radicals in the air can be calculated.
