This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel compound, HMPPM, and investigates its vapofluorochromic properties. The compound was further utilized to develop cellulose and wearable sensors for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
This study presents the synthesis, crystallographic data and photophysical properties of a donor-acceptor (D-A) compound, methoxybenzylidene methanone Schiff base (HMPPM). It shows remarkable vapofluorochromism, embodied as turn-on red fluorescence in response to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with fast response and high signal contrast. HMPPM is further developed into a cellulose sensor via dip-dying method for VOCs detection. We further use RGB and CIELAB color spaces to quantify the vapofluorochromic fluorescence. The limits of detection (LOD) of the sensor reach ppm level. Furthermore, it was fabricated into a wearable VOC sensor, with the introduction of an endogenous/exogenous reference, which conduces to high accuracy and visual identification. The cellulose sensor can be tailored into diversified patterns, with controllable shape and size, which facilitated the encapsulation into various wearables, including shoes, hat and smart band, etc., succeeding in scenario-based VOCs detection. In addition, we built a smartphone-based sensing platform based on HMPPM, which achieves a ppm-level LOD in VOCs monitoring.
