The invention discloses a
quantum dot
fiber gas sensor and a preparation method thereof. The
quantum dot
fiber gas sensor comprises a
fiber probe and a gas-sensitive layer comprising
colloidal quantum dots, a
refractive index sensitive area of the
fiber probe is uniformly coated with the gas-sensitive layer, carrier concentration changes when the gas-sensitive layer of the
fiber probe adsorbs gas, so that gas-sensitive layer
refractive index change, optical fields in the
fiber probe change,
extinction ratio of spectrums change, the spectrums drift,
gas concentration is obtained according to variation of the
extinction ratio and the spectrums, the
quantum dot fiber gas sensor has the advantages that the sensor is high gas-sensitive responsibility, distributed networking is easily achieved. According to the preparation method, the gas-sensitive layer is uniform and excellent in
adhesive force and obtained by the aid of a layer-by-layer electrostatic self-
assembly method, the thickness of the gas-sensitive layer can be adjusted,
doping or surface decoration is achieved by the aid of short-chain ligand solution, adjusting and controlling are achieved according to characteristics of different target gases, and sensitivity and selectivity of the target gases are further improved.
