3
 INTRODUCTION

• Respiration analysis is a fast, non-invasive, painless, low-

cost, and simple

• Acetone concentration in exhaled breath reflects the status

of patients suffering from prediabetes

• For prediabetic patients, the acetone concentration in

respiration exceeds 1.8 ppm

4
 Previous Work

• Gas Chromatography, PTR-MS(proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry,

DMS(differential mobility spectrometry) and Chemoresistance

• Metal oxide based gas sensor, traditional aceton sensor needs additional power
supply

• Therefore, a self powered wearable sensor is proposed in this work

5
 How the Energy is generated?

• PTFE and Nylon were selected as triboelectric layers

• An electric field pointing from the nylon layer

towards the electrode is established

• The electric field keeps growing with increasing

distance and keeps reducing when the distance is
decreased

6
 What is achieved from this research

➢Demonstrate a self-powered aceton sensor with wireless energy

transmission

➢Propose a model of sensor without interaction between sensing

materials and mechanical stimulus

➢Detect aceton in respiratory gases exhibiting a good sensing

response of 27.89% under 10 ppm

7
 Materials and Methods

• Consists of Six parts

• Chitosan-reduced graphene oxide(CS-RGO)

mixed solution acting as sensing film

• Energy harvesting component is located

outside the test chamber and no wire
connection is needed

 Results
and
Discussion

 Sensitivity for CS And CS-RGO Based Sensor

• CS-RGO film exhibits sensing response of 27.89% under 10 ppm which is 5 times
greater than pure CS film based sensor

• The response of CS-RGO based sensor declines faster in first two weeks and then
stays stable

10
 Moisture Effect on Sensing Performance

• The humidity effect on output

performance was studied from dry air to
97.5% RH with aceton concentrations
ranging from 0 ppm to 10 ppm

• Sensor response in the moist atmosphere

increased while it decreased in the dry
atmosphere

11
 Moisture Effect on Sensing Performance

• Under dry air , oxygen molecules attract electrons

from the conduction band and broadening the
depletion layer at the gas-solid interfaces
O2(gas) + 2e- 2O-(ads)

• Upon moist environment, chitosan particles react

with absorbed oxygen ions and release electron

Chit-NH2 +2O-(ads) +H2O ChitNH2+O2+H2O+2e-

12
 Conclusion

• This sensor demonstrate excellent acetone sensing response,

sensitivity, selectivity, and moisture resistance, showing a promising
capability of practical respiratory monitoring.

• This work paves the way for a new method of acetone sensing in
respiration
