Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalytic luminescence detection technology, and in particular to a method for detecting carbon monoxide catalytic luminescence. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common technologies for online carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring include electrochemical sensors, infrared spectroscopy, and semiconductor resistive sensors. Electrochemical sensors are susceptible to interference from electrochemically active gases such as NO, SO2, and H2 in CO detection, and changes in humidity can cause baseline drift and decreased sensitivity. Infrared spectroscopy is sensitive to gases with overlapping infrared absorption, such as H2O and CO2, and is prone to false signals or quantitative errors in high CO2 environments. Semiconductor resistive sensors exhibit significant cross-response in the presence of multiple volatile organic gases, and their recovery speed is slow.

[0048] To facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the following further describes the above technical solutions of the present invention from the perspectives of architecture and principle, as follows: A novel catalytic luminescence method for rapid detection of carbon monoxide based on α-Fe₂O₃ / reduced graphene oxide includes: I. Material Preparation: 20 mg of graphene oxide (GO) was dispersed in 60 mL of deionized water and sonicated for 30 min. Then, 0.317–1.268 g of ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O) and 0.3–1.2 g of urea (CO(NH2)2) were added sequentially to the GO solution and stirred until homogeneous. Next, 45–55 μL of anhydrous hydrazine solution (N2H4, 70–80 wt%) was slowly added dropwise as a reducing agent, and the mixture was stirred for another 10–20 min to ensure thorough mixing. The resulting solution was transferred to a 150 mL PTFE-lined stainless steel reactor and placed in an oven for hydrothermal reaction at 170–200°C for 10–15 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was naturally cooled to room temperature. The resulting precipitate was separated by centrifugation and washed three times alternately with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol. Finally, it was vacuum dried at 60-80°C for 10-12 hours to obtain the α-Fe2O3 / reduced graphene oxide (α-Fe2O3 / rGO) composite material.

[0049] In contrast, the preparation process of pure Fe₂O₃ is similar to that described above, but GO is not added to the mixed precursor solution. Specifically, 0.317–1.268 g of FeCl₃·6H₂O and 0.3–1.2 g of urea are dissolved in 60 mL of deionized water, and 45–55 μL of anhydrous hydrazine is added. After stirring thoroughly, the mixture is transferred to a reaction vessel and reacted at 170–200°C for 10–15 h. After the same washing and drying steps, α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles with uniform particle size distribution are obtained.

[0050] II. Material Characterization: 1) XRD: The XRD patterns (i.e., X-ray diffraction patterns) of the prepared α-Fe₂O₃ and α-Fe₂O₃ / G are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Both exhibit distinct diffraction peaks at 2θ = 24.2°, 33.2°, 35.6°, 40.9°, 49.5°, 54.1°, 62.4°, and 64.0°, corresponding to the (012), (104), (110), (113), (024), (116), (018), and (300) crystal planes of hematite (α-Fe2O3, JCPDS No. 33-0664), respectively, indicating that the synthesized α-Fe2O3 possesses a good hematite-type crystal phase structure. In the spectrum of the α-Fe2O3 / rG composite material, a broad and weak diffraction peak appears in the range of 2θ = 24.5°–27.5°, which can be attributed to the characteristic peak of the disordered stacked reduced graphene oxide (002) crystal plane.

[0051] 2) TEM: Figure 3The images show transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of α-Fe₂O₃ (A) and the α-Fe₂O₃ / rGO composite material (B). In Figure 3A, the pure α-Fe₂O₃ sample exhibits obvious nanoparticle aggregation. The particle size is relatively uniform, but the distribution is dense, and there is significant agglomeration between the particles, which may affect subsequent performance. Figure 3 The α-Fe₂O₃ / rGO composite material in B exhibits significantly different structural characteristics. Partially transparent reduced graphene oxide sheets can be clearly observed in the α-Fe₂O₃, acting as a carrier to support the dispersed α-Fe₂O₃ particles. This structure helps increase the specific surface area of ​​the material and improve the exposure of active sites.

[0052] In summary, the introduction of reduced graphene oxide effectively regulates the dispersion state of α-Fe2O, which helps to optimize its microstructure and improve its potential performance.

[0053] III. Evaluation of the gas-sensitive properties of the material: The prepared α-Fe₂O₃ and α-Fe₂O₃ / G composite materials, as well as three commercially available α-Fe₂O₃ materials (named α-Fe₂O₃-S1, α-Fe₂O₃-S2, and α-Fe₂O₃-S3) were used as catalytic luminescence sensing materials. The concentration of 150 mg / m³ was determined under the following conditions: detection wavelength of 475 nm, operating temperature of 223°C, and carrier gas flow rate of 550 mL / min. 3 CO. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the α-Fe₂O₃ / G composite material exhibits the strongest signal, followed by α-Fe₂O₃, while the α-Fe₂O₃-S₁ material shows a weaker signal, and α-Fe₂O₃-S₂ and α-Fe₂O₃-S₃ show no signal. Compared to α-Fe₂O₃, the α-Fe₂O₃ / G signal is enhanced by 5.5 times. The α-Fe₂O₃ signal is 5.2 times stronger than the α-Fe₂O₃-S₁ signal, while α-Fe₂O₃-S₂ and α-Fe₂O₃-S₃ show no signal. These results fully demonstrate the superior performance of the α-Fe₂O₃ prepared by this method in the catalytic luminescence detection of CO, especially after composite with graphene, where the performance is significantly improved. Therefore, the α-Fe₂O₃ / G composite material will be used in subsequent designs of catalytic luminescence sensors for CO detection.

Condition Optimization: Optimization was performed on wavelength, operating temperature, and carrier gas flow rate, with the following results: Figure 5-7 As shown, based on the principle of maximizing signal-to-noise ratio, the optimal detection wavelength is 475nm, the optimal operating temperature is 223°C, and the optimal carrier gas flow rate is 550mL / min.

[0055] V.

For example... Figure 8 As shown, CO can produce a significant catalytic luminescence signal at 12000 mg / m³. 3 2-Pentanone produced only a weak signal, only 3.8% of the CO signal. Other gases did not produce any signal, indicating that the method has good selectivity.

[0056] VI.

[0059] IX. Anti-interference performance: CO2, NO, and SO2 are inorganic gases that commonly coexist with CO. High concentrations of 2-pentanone can generate signals on the surface of the α-Fe2O3 / G catalytic luminescence sensor. To evaluate the anti-interference capability of the α-Fe2O3 / G sensor, a mixed gas sample was prepared by mixing known concentrations of CO with certain concentrations of CO2, NO, SO2, and 2-pentanone, and then the CO recovery rate was measured. Table 1 shows that the recovery rates ranged from 103.8% to 110.1%. Despite the coexisting potential interfering gas concentration being more than 10 times the CO concentration, a relatively ideal recovery rate was still obtained, indicating that the surface method exhibits good anti-interference performance.

[0061] This invention constructs an α-Fe₂O₃ / G composite material and applies it to the catalytic luminescence detection of carbon monoxide. Compared with single α-Fe₂O₃ material, this composite material exhibits a several-fold increase in response intensity to CO under the same conditions, with response and recovery times both reaching the second level, achieving truly rapid detection. Simultaneously, this material maintains high selectivity for CO under complex atmospheres and demonstrates significant suppression of interference from common coexisting gases and high concentrations of organic vapors, ensuring detection accuracy. The method exhibits good linearity over a wide concentration range, with a low detection limit and excellent repeatability, providing a solution for online CO monitoring that combines high sensitivity, rapid response, and anti-interference capabilities.
