Investigation of Different Materials as Acetone Sensors for Application in Type-1 Diabetes Diagnosis
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 5
Abstract
Diabetes, one of the most rapidly-growing chronic diseases in the world, is overall relative expensive on both diagnosis and monitoring. Breath acetone has proven to be a biomarker of diabetes which is a metabolite with a strong correlation with blood glucose. Measuring the concentration of acetone in exhaled breath can provide a non-invasive, low risk of infection, low cost, and convenient way to screen diabetics at the early stage and daily monitor the health condition of diabetics. Several materials have been investigat-ed for their ability to detect of breath acetone. The preliminary results show that nano-structured K2W7O22 (KWO), a new functional semiconducting material, synthesized by hydrothermal method, can effectively detect breath acetone at room temperature. This paper emphasizes that the sensing performance of KWO on breath acetone. In addition, a comparison between KWO with other materials for application in sensing acetone is discussed.
