[0059] The sensor was placed in a sealed chamber measuring 30×60×15 cm, and different volumes of ethanolamine liquid were dropped onto a heated substrate. After heating to 60-80°C, the ethanolamine liquid gradually evaporated, forming gaseous molecules that filled the entire chamber in approximately 3-5 minutes.

[0062] The sensor was placed in a sealed chamber measuring 30×60×15 cm, and different volumes of ethanolamine liquid were dropped onto a heating substrate. After heating to 60-80°C, the ethanolamine liquid gradually evaporated, forming gaseous molecules that filled the entire chamber in approximately 3-5 minutes. As the concentration of ethanolamine gas varied from 10 to 100 ppm, the sensor gradually changed from light blue to dark blue. Figure 9 As shown. Its absorbance change can be quantitatively characterized by diffuse reflectance absorption spectroscopy, such as... Figure 10 As shown, color depth is positively correlated with gas concentration—the higher the concentration, the deeper the color and the greater the light intensity. Gas concentration and light intensity exhibit a good linear relationship, with a goodness of fit R0. 2 = 0.995, such as Figure 11 As shown in the figure, this embodiment demonstrates that gas overflow can be observed with the naked eye through optical signals, realizing a green, low-cost, and easy-to-operate gas visualization monitoring technology, which has potential applications in practical applications.

The sensor is connected to a Tonghui TH2827A Precision LCR Meter table through a wire, and the test parameters are set to 1~2 V alternating voltage, 1 kHz operating frequency, and the capacitive signal is collected in real time. In a sealed chamber, the sensor adsorbs and captures gas molecules, changes the viscosity of the ionic liquid, and makes the capacitance value change instantaneously, with a response time of about 1.5 s, as shown in Figure 12 The gas concentration and the change amount of the electric signal have a good linear relationship, and the fitting coefficient R 2 = 0.995, as shown in Figure 13 The sensor electric signal detection limit is as low as 2 ppm, which is consistent with the optical signal detection limit, achieving the goal of high sensitivity and complementary micro gas detection of photoelectric dual-mode cooperation, realizing the dual advantages of "visual observation (optical signal) + precise quantification (electric signal)", retaining the intuitive nature of the naked eye, and providing more accurate numerical reference through the electric signal, further enhancing the reliability and practicality of the sensor, meeting the experimental design requirements of green, low cost, easy operation, qualitative and quantitative, and providing a more reliable technical solution for industrial site micro gas leakage monitoring.
