The invention discloses a composite sensing material as well as preparation and application thereof in
liquid food spoilage monitoring. The material is of a
metal oxide semiconductor / layered
silicate mineral and
wax integrated structure, and comprises a
heterojunction sensitive layer formed by compounding
metal oxide semiconductor nanoparticles and layered
silicate minerals, and a
wax super-hydrophobic protective layer
coating the surface of the
heterojunction sensitive layer. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dispersing the two raw materials into suspension liquid,
coating the suspension liquid on an
electrode to form the sensitive layer, and then
coating and curing the
wax material to form the protective layer. According to the material, the room-temperature gas-sensitive activity is enhanced through the
heterojunction, meanwhile, the super-hydrophobic wax layer is used for resisting
high humidity and liquid
pollution, and function
synergy is achieved. The obtained material is high in sensitivity and quick in response to decay mark gases such as
ammonia gas and
hydrogen sulfide at
room temperature, and has excellent environmental
interference resistance. The method is simple in process, low in cost, high in environmental adaptability, capable of being integrated in
liquid food packaging, capable of achieving real-time in-situ monitoring of the decay process and wide in application prospect.
