Due to the emergence of new microbreweries in the Brazilian market, there is a need to construct equipment to quickly and accurately identify the alcohol content in beverages, together with a reduced marketing cost. Towards this purpose, the electronic noses prove to be the most suitable equipment for this situation. In this work, a prototype was developed to detect the concentration of ethanol in a high spectrum of beers presents in the market. It was used cheap and easy-to-acquire 13 gas sensors made with a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS). Samples with 15 predetermined alcohol contents were used for the training and construction of the models. For validation, seven different commercial beverages were used. The correlation (R2) of 0.888 for the MLR (RMSE = 0.45) and the error of 5.47% for the ELM (RMSE = 0.33) demonstrate that the equipment can be an effective tool for detecting the levels of alcohol contained in beverages.

Abstract We report the synthesis of a novel poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) derivative bearing dodecanoylsulfanyl side-groups (12COS-PPV). Good solubility in organic solvents was achieved. The average molecular weight was around 30 000, the energy gap 2.8 eV and the thermal stability up to 130°C. Doping with iodine vapours rose conductivity to 2·10-6 S/cm. Gas sensors made from FeCl3-doped 12COS-PPV showed an unusual behaviour responding to only four of the eight different organic solvent vapours tested. Recoveries from the responses are not complete, but are reproducible and can be used to discriminate between the four solvents. Quantitative analyses are also possible since there is a good linear correlation between relative response and concentration.

This work investigates the potential use of temperature modulation of MOS gas sensors combined with the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) as a feature extraction mechanism for MOS-based electronic noses. Five samples each of ethyl acetate, ethanol and isopropanol were prepared. The response of each of four sensors in an array was decomposed using empirical mode decomposition and the marginal Hilbert spectrum was computed. A set of 72 frequency components was extracted from marginal Hilbert spectrum response of each sensor in an array of four sensor to produce a 288 element fingerprint of each sample. The fingerprints were successfully clustered using PCA and classified using a SVM neutral network.

ABSTRACTWe have fabricated thin-film combinatorial gas sensor libraries based on doped semiconducting SnO2 thin films. The utility of combinatorial libraries is two-fold: one is to search and optimize the compositions for high sensitivity and selectivity of gases, and the other is to make use of the natural array geometry of the libraries with different sensor elements for electronic noses. Combinatorial pulsed-laser ablation was used to deposit compositionally varying arrays of sensor elements onto a pre-patterned device electrode configuration. Using a multiplexing electronics, we have demonstrated detection of chloroform, formaldehyde, and benzene gases at concentrations down to 12.5 ppm through pattern recognition of signals from the arrays of sensors.

Based on density-functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function calculations, we demonstrate that endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are reactive to open-shell gases, and therefore have the potential application as selective open-shell gas sensors.
