Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of infrared non-dispersive multi-gas detection, and particularly relates to a non-dispersive multi-gas detection device and method based on surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gas detection plays an important role in the fields of industry, agriculture, environment, aerospace, etc. Compared with contact sensors such as electrochemical sensors and semiconductor sensors, optical gas sensors have better selectivity, long service life, are not prone to poisoning, and are highly practical, and are suitable for detecting gases with asymmetric molecular structures. Common optical gas sensing technologies include non-dispersive infrared (NDIR), tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), and photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) technologies. NDIR gas sensing technology is widely used due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. An NDIR gas sensing system mainly consists of an infrared light source, an optical gas cell, and a detector. Currently, a hot topic in NDIR technology research is to improve the detection sensitivity while reducing the size and cost. At the same time, on-chip sensing of multiple greenhouse gases (such as methane and carbon dioxide) is very important in industry, agriculture, and meteorology, but this sensing application is still challenging due to mutual interference between gases.

[0003] Surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) technology has attracted widespread attention by using metal nanoantennas to amplify near-field intensity in the mid-infrared "molecular fingerprint" range. Localized surface plasmons of metal nanoantennas can produce a large local electromagnetic field enhancement. When the infrared vibration of a gas molecule couples with the localized surface plasmons, the vibration signal of the gas molecule is greatly enhanced, enabling trace detection of gas molecules. Therefore, combining SEIRA technology with NDIR technology can address the current requirements of miniaturization and high performance of NDIR sensors. However, in existing reports, SEIRA technology generally uses infrared microscopes as analytical instruments, which are bulky, expensive, and cannot display gas analysis results in real time, limiting the on-site application of this technology.
