- Abstract
- Lead(II) acetate [Pb(Ac)(2)] reacts with hydrogen sulfide to form colored brownish precipitates of lead sulfide. Thus far, in order to detect leakage of H2S gas in industrial sectors, Pb(Ac)(2) has been used as an indicator in the form of test papers with a detection limit only as low as 5 ppm. Diagnosis of halitosis by exhaled breath needs sensors able to detect down to 1 ppm of H2S gas. In this work, high surface area and porous Pb(Ac)(2) anchored nanofibers (NFs) that overcome limitations of the conventional Pb(Ac)(2)-based H2S sensor are successfully achieved. First, lead(II) acetate, which melts at 75 degrees C, and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer are mixed and stirred in dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent at 85 degrees C, enabling uniform dispersion of fine liquid droplets in the electrospinning solution. During the subsequent electrospinning, Pb(Ac)(2) anchored NFs are obtained, providing an ideal nanostructure with high thermal stability against particle aggregation, numerous reactions sites, and enhanced diffusion of H2S into the three-dimensional (3D)-networked NF web. This newly obtained sensing material can detect down to 400 ppb of H2S at a relative humidity of 90%, exhibiting high potential feasibility as a high-performance colorimetric sensor platform for diagnosis of halitosis.
