Title: Ultrasonically Catalyzed Single-Sensor E-Noses & Their Algorithms
Abstract: 
High-performance gas sensing and electronic noses (E-noses) have huge potential applications in human health diagnoses, food industry, environmental safety, internet of things, chamber air quality monitoring, etc., due to the merits such as point-of-care testing, easiness to operate, simple and light structure, low cost, etc. My research group proposed the ultrasonically catalyzed gas sensing method in 2017, and then successfully applied the method into high-performance gas sensing and single-sensor E-noses. This lecture gives the detailed research results in this respect, The first part of this lecture includes principle of the ultrasonic catalysis in gas sensing, and structure and characteristics of the gas sensors catalyzed by gas borne ultrasound. In the second part, working principle and algorithms of ultrasonically catalyzed single-sensor e-noses, are given and explained, as well as the structure, system design and gas discrimination performance. The algorithms applied in the E-noses include the k-method, R-C method and machining learning methods. It shows that the ultrasonically catalyzed gas sensors have much better sensitivity and lower detection limit than the conventional ones, and ultrasonically catalyzed single-sensor E-noses have strong capability of gas discrimination and concentration measurement.
Keywords: E-Nose; Ultrasound; ML; Integration.
