Si:WO3 Sensors for Highly Selective Detection of Acetone for Easy Diagnosis of Diabetes by Breath Analysis
Abstract
Acetone in the human breath is an important marker for noninvasive diagnosis of diabetes. Here, novel chemo-resistive detectors have been developed that allow rapid measurement of ultralow acetone concentrations (down to 20 ppb) with high signal-to-noise ratio in ideal (dry air) and realistic (up to 90% RH) conditions. The detector films consist of (highly sensitive) pure and Si-doped WO(3) nanoparticles (10-13 nm in diameter) made in the gas phase and directly deposited onto interdigitated electrodes. Their sensing properties (selectivity, limit of detection, response, and recovery times) have been investigated as a function of operating temperature (325-500 degrees C), relative humidity (RH), and interfering analyte (ethanol or water vapor) concentration. It was found that Si-doping increases and stabilizes the acetone-selective epsilon-WO(3) phase while increasing its thermal stability and, thus, results in superior sensing performance with an optimum at about 10 mol % Si content. Furthermore, increasing the operation temperature decreased the detector response to water vapor, and above 400 degrees C, it was ( or=1800 ppb) can be clearly distinguished by a remarkable gap (40%) in sensor response. As a result, these solid state detectors may offer a portable and cost-effective alternative to more bulky systems for noninvasive diabetes detection by human breath analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
