Paper-based cantilever gas sensor array for visual VOC detection
Paper-based cantilever sensor array for simple visual detection of volatile organic compounds.

Volatile organic compound (VOC) detection is critical for controlling industrial and commercial emissions, environmental monitoring, and public health.

Simple, portable, rapid, and low-cost VOC sensing platforms can provide the benefits of on-site and real-time monitoring anytime and anywhere.

In particular, equipment-free and power-free detection by the naked eye would be among the most practical and useful approaches for field use.

In this work, we create a novel paper-based cantilever sensor array for simple and rapid naked-eye VOC detection without any power source, electronics, or readout equipment.
