Sensor strategy bears fruit: A nature-inspired Cu(I) complex was employed to fabricate single-walled carbon nanotube sensors that can selectively detect ethylene gas at concentrations as low as 0.5 ppm. Such nanosensors may be used to monitor ethylene gas emitted from fruits to monitor their ripening.
受自然启发的 Cu(I) 配合物被用于制造单壁碳纳米管传感器,该传感器可以选择性地检测低至 0.5 ppm 的乙烯气体。这种纳米传感器可用于监测水果释放的乙烯气体,以监测其成熟度。
