Abstract: The disclosure provides a gas permeable electrode and method for making the electrode to create diffusion pathways (or pores) in the metal electrode in a manner that is not destructive to delicate or soft sensing material. A first polymer, which is gas-permeable, is applied as a continuous coating over a surface of the sensing material. A second polymer that is immiscible with the first polymer is applied over a surface of the first polymer (e.g., spray-dry deposition of the second polymer) to form a micro-pattern or a polymeric template. The incompatibility/immiscibility between the first polymer and the second polymer leads to segregation of the second polymer into a pattern of discontinuous bumps, dots, islands or blobs on top of the first polymer. The porous electrode comprises at least one layer of an electrically conductive metal that is deposited over the first and second polymers. Bumps of the second polymer promotes small cracks or voids in the metal electrode layer that enable fast diffusion of analytes through the electrode.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for coating a surface of a material with a film of porous coordination polymer. A first substrate having a first surface to be coated is positioned in a processing chamber such that the first surface is placed in a substantially opposing relationship to a second surface. In some embodiments, the second surface is provided by a wall of the processing chamber, and in other embodiments the second surface is provided by a second substrate to be coated. The first substrate is held such that a gap exists between the first and second surfaces, and the gap is filled with at least one reaction mixture comprising reagents sufficient to form the crystalline film on at least the first surface. A thin gap (e.g., having a thickness less than 2 mm) between the first and second surfaces is effective for producing a high quality film having a thickness less than 100 μm. Confining the volume of the reaction mixture to a thin layer adjacent the substrate surface significantly reduces problems with sedimentation and concentration control. In some embodiments, the size, shape, or average thickness of the gap is adjusted during formation of the film in response to feedback from at least one film growth monitor.

Abstract: A sensor device comprises at least one transducer and a sensing material disposed on the transducer. The sensing material adsorbs or absorbs an amount of analyte (e.g., a target gas) that depends on a temperature of the sensing material and a concentration of the analyte. At least one detector is arranged to measure responses of the transducer to sorption or desorption of the analyte in the sensing material while the sensing material is heated and/or cooled according to at least one temperature profile. The device also comprises a humidity sensor that is arranged to detect a humidity level of the environment or sample containing the analyte. A processor or controller is programmed to determine the quantity (e.g., concentration) of the analyte by comparing values of the transducer measurement signals to reference data indicative of expected or pre-measured responses of the transducer to known concentrations of the analyte at the same humidity level as indicated by the humidity sensor while the sensing material is subjected to the same or similar temperature profile.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for coating a surface of a substrate with at least one film of porous coordination polymer. A body has an interior space for holding the substrate to be coated, at least one inlet, and at least one outlet in communication with the interior space to permit fluid to flow in a downstream direction from the inlet, across the surface of the substrate in the interior space, and through the outlet. A plurality of flow channels are arranged to flow a plurality of different reagent solutions from respective supply sources to the at least one inlet. The flow channels merge into at least one mixing region, positioned upstream of the interior space, to mix the solutions prior to the mixture contacting the surface of the substrate in the interior space. At least one pressure source and valve system are arranged with the supply sources and the flow channels to select at least one combination of the reagent solutions to be mixed and to force the selected reagent solutions to flow from their respective supply sources, through the flow channels, and into the mixing region at different, independently controllable flow rates to regulate respective concentrations of reagents in the mixture.

Abstract: A sensor array includes resonator sensors having respective receptor materials disposed thereon. The receptor materials have a physical property relevant to their ability to bind or adsorb one or more analytes in a sample. The physical property of the receptor materials on the sensors systematically increases or decreases in degree from one sensor to the next in the array. The device also comprises at least one detector for detecting sensor responses when masses of the analytes are adsorbed or bound to the receptor materials on the sensors. With this graded panel of sensors in the array, the analytes may adsorb or bind to the functionalized sensors with a pattern of responses specific to each analyte.
