A Highly Sensitive and Selective Isobutyraldehyde Sensor Based on Nanosized Sm2O3 Particles by Li Jiang, Yun Wu, Yan Wang, Qin Zhou, Yuguo Zheng, Yafei Chen, Qianchun Zhang

“…The sensor was quite specific: butyraldehyde, methanol, ethanol, acetone, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzene, ethylbenzene, and cumene could not produce significant CTL intensities; specifically, butyraldehyde, ethanol, acetone, and acetaldehyde produced low CTL intensities, with values that were 3.8%, 2.8%, 0.60%, and 0.57% that of IBD. As a test of sensor stability, we found that the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 30 measurements of the CTL at an IBD concentration of 1.6 μg/mL within a period of 72 h was 2.2%, indicating good stability and long service life of the sensor. …”
