Description

Self-powered respiration sensor based on bionic nasal cavity structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of sensors, and particularly relates to a self-powered respiration sensor based on a bionic nasal cavity structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The existing research shows that the types and the contents of substances in human breath are related to the physical condition of a human body, so that a new disease diagnosis mode, namely breath diagnosis is developed, namely, the change of the corresponding tissue cell metabolism is reflected by detecting the change of the components of the exhaled air of the human body, and the health condition of the human body is further represented. Compared with the traditional diagnosis method, the breath diagnosis is gradually paid more attention by more and more researchers and is rapidly developed by virtue of the advantages of rapidness and convenience, for example: examination of gastric Helicobacter Pylori (HP) breath tests are widely used; the clinical diagnosis of asthma takes the content of nitrogen oxide in the exhaled breath condensate as an important detection index; in addition, diabetes detection and early diagnosis of lung cancer, breath detection have been the focus of research.
The breath detection is used as the basis of breath diagnosis, and aims to accurately measure the components and the content of substances in exhaled air of a person, determine the cost of characteristic gas related to pathological changes according to the components and the content, and establish a disease diagnosis model through statistics, mode recognition and other modes. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a sensor (i.e. a respiration sensor) for detecting gas substances in human respiration, and the research and development of the respiration sensor has a wide market development prospect in the field of respiration diagnosis.
The gas sensor is an element for responding to gas to be measured, and the gas sensor is a core element for converting a chemical signal into an electrical signal, however, a circuit system matched with the gas sensor is usually required for measuring the change of resistance or capacitance, and an external power supply is required for supplying energy to the gas sensor, so that the gas sensor needs many auxiliary elements, the whole structure is complex, the gas sensor is difficult to carry, the energy consumption is high, and the working requirement of the gas sensor cannot be met for a long time. The self-energy supply technology works by collecting energy supply in the external environment, and the gas sensor based on the self-energy supply technology is researched to solve the problem that the device is supplied with power independently for a long time. Nowadays, the exploration of energy harvesting technology and new energy sources is leading direction in research fields in various disciplines. Although the conventional power technology has been developed for nearly two hundred years, the human search for new energy and new energy collection methods, such as photoelectric effect, piezoelectric effect, pyroelectric effect, electrochemical reaction, and electrostatic induction, has never been stopped. In order to solve the problems of short service life, high power consumption, need of external power supply and the like of the traditional gas sensor, researchers have introduced self-powered technology into the research of the gas sensor and developed self-powered gas sensors based on photoelectric effect or photovoltaic effect, however, such devices have the defects of small output, complex manufacture, high cost, difficulty in large-scale integration and the like, and the practicability and commercialization of the breathing sensor are restricted.
Mechanical energy is one of the most common energy forms in the nature, has the characteristics of wide distribution, large scale, cleanness, environmental protection, direct collection and the like, and gradually becomes a hotspot in the field of energy and material research in recent years. Triboelectrification is a very common phenomenon in daily life, and refers to a process of charge transfer by physical contact between objects. The static electricity is generated by transferring triboelectric charges during triboelectric charging, and the formation of triboelectric charges during triboelectric charging depends on the difference in triboelectric polarities of the contact materials. Although triboelectrification, a common phenomenon that is recognized by humans for nearly a thousand years, its mechanism of formation has not yet been fully studied. One explanation that is now accepted by the scientific community is that when two materials with different triboelectric polarities are contacted, a chemical bond is formed at a partial position of the contact, and the formation of the chemical bond can transfer charges from one material to the other material to balance the electrochemical potentials of the two materials, wherein the transferred charges can be electrons, ions or molecules; when the two materials are separated, some bond atoms of the contact surface can retain redundant electrons, and other bond atoms can reject redundant electrons, so that triboelectric charges are formed on the surface of the contact surface. The triboelectric nano generator prepared by the coupling effect of friction electrification and electrostatic induction can directly convert mechanical energy in the environment into an electric signal to be output, has the advantages of strong output signal, simple structure, low cost, high integration level and the like, and provides a new development direction for the research of a self-powered gas sensor.
