Superhydrophobic Polymerized n-Octadecylsilane Surface for BTEX Sensing and Stable Toluene/Water Selective Detection Based on QCM Sensor.


ABSTRACT: The present study reports a facile and low-cost route to produce a superhydrophobic polymerized n-octadecylsilane surface with micronano hierarchical structure on the surface of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The surface is used as a novel functional sensing material to detect benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) vapor on the basis of QCM platform. The composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. The type of solvent used to dissolve N-octadecyltrichlorosilane has a big impact on the morphology, wettability, and sensing performance of the polymer material. Further systematic studies suggest that surface wettability (contact angle) and molecular polarity of the detected analytes are effective factors in selective detection toward BTEX using resonator-type gas sensors. Gas sensing results toward toluene in different relative humidities show that the new-style sensor has stable toluene/water selective detection performance and that the disturbance of water is negligible. Besides, the limit of detection toward toluene of the sensor is lower than the odor threshold value.
