The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
With the rapid development of modern industry, the discharge amount of various industrial waste gases is increasing, and a large amount of toxic gases and flammable and explosive gases are contained, so that the environment is polluted, and the human health is also harmed. The power battery of the new energy vehicle and the energy storage battery of the energy storage power station also generate various toxic gases and combustible and explosive gases after damage and before spontaneous combustion, and if the toxic gases and the combustible and explosive gases can be detected and treated properly in time, spontaneous combustion and even explosion accidents of the batteries can be avoided.
Wherein ammonia gas (NH) 3 ) Is a typical colorless and irritant toxic and harmful gas, and is a common air pollutant. Meanwhile, ammonia gas with a certain concentration can cause harm to human health. When one is at 25ppm NH 3 8h, even 35ppm NH under the environment 3 At medium time of 15min, NH 3 Can cause serious injury to eyes and respiratory tract of people. Therefore, the NH in the pollution source or the atmospheric environment can be timely and accurately monitored and controlled 3 And the concentration of toxic and harmful gases has great significance for environmental protection and human health.
The traditional electrochemical gas sensor has higher sensitivity and precision, but has poor anti-interference performance and high use temperature; the spectrum absorption type gas sensor has the advantages of large volume and high cost, and is difficult to realize in-situ online monitoring in high-dust, high-humidity and vibration environments.

In the embodiment, PANI is introduced as a sensitive material, the refractive index sensitive property of the micro-nano optical fiber and the gas sensitive property of the PANI are organically combined, and a PANI film grows in situ on the surface of the optical fiber grid region, so that the problem that the FBG sensor is not sensitive to gas detection is solved; meanwhile, the technical problems of thickness control and uniform coating of the polymer on the surface of the fiber grating and stable and firm combination with the fiber grating are effectively solved by the in-situ growth mode of the PANI film.

Example two
In one or more embodiments, a method for preparing a micro-nano optical fiber gas sensor based on a surface in-situ growth polymer is disclosed, which also takes an FBG gas sensor as an example, and specifically comprises the following steps:
step (1): connecting an optical fiber with a demodulator, etching the optical fiber grating region by using hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution, taking out the optical fiber when the blue shift of the central wavelength of the optical fiber grating reflection spectrum is monitored to be 1.2-1.8 nm, and cleaning the surface of the grating region for multiple times by using deionized water to remove residual HF molecules on the surface of the grating region;
step (2): taking out the optical fiber from the deionized water, and carrying out surface treatment on the gate region; the surface treatment method can be selected from ammonia water-hydrogen peroxide (NH) 3 ·H 2 O-H 2 O 2 ) The aqueous solution of (2) can be soaked, or can be soaked by adopting a silane coupling agent solution;
wherein NH 3 ·H 2 O-H 2 O 2 The aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving NH 3 ·H 2 O、H 2 O 2 Preparing a solution with deionized water according to a certain volume ratio; the silane coupling agent can be selected from vinyl silane and amino silaneOr a methacryloxy silane type coupling agent.
And (3): placing the optical fiber subjected to surface treatment in a drying box for drying treatment, wherein the temperature of the drying box is controlled to be 60-120 ℃;
and (4): and carrying out in-situ growth of PANI on the surface of the fiber grating region.
In this step, the specific process of in-situ growth of PANI is as follows:
step (4-1): dispersing an aniline monomer in an acid solution with a certain pH value to form an aniline-acid solution; wherein the acid solution can be one of inorganic acid or organic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or camphorsulfonic acid.
Step (4-2): and dispersing initiator ammonium persulfate in an acid solution with the same pH value as the pH value, and uniformly stirring to form an ammonium persulfate-acid solution.
Step (4-3): vertically immersing the surface-treated optical fiber grid region into the aniline-acid solution, placing the optical fiber grid region into an ice water bath (0-5 ℃) for cooling, and then dropwise and slowly adding the ammonium persulfate-acid solution into the aniline-acid solution to enable aniline to start to grow on the surface of the grid region in a polymerization manner;
step (4-4): the intensity of the central wavelength of the optical fiber grating region reflection spectrum output by the demodulator on the computer is observed, and when the intensity is reduced to a certain range, the optical fiber is taken out.
In this embodiment, the thickness of the PANI film grown on the surface of the fiber gate region is related to the growth time, and the longer the in-situ growth time is, the thicker the film is. However, the PANI film in this embodiment is not too thick, which easily causes the signal intensity of the optical fiber to be attenuated too much to be detected. Therefore, the time for finishing the growth of the polymer film needs to be controlled by monitoring the signal intensity change condition in the growth process in real time and attenuating the signal intensity to a certain range, that is, the film thickness meeting the signal intensity range of the optical fiber is more suitable.
After the in-situ growth process is completed, the acid doping and re-doping treatment of the PANI is carried out, and the specific process is as follows:
taking out the optical fiber after the PANI surface growth is completed, and soaking the optical fiber into deionized water to clean the unreacted aniline monomer, oligomer, initiator and other impurities remained on the surface of the gate region; then completely immersing the gate region into an ammonia water solution for a period of time, and carrying out the dedoping treatment of the PANI film; finally, taking out the optical fiber from the ammonia water solution, immersing the optical fiber into deionized water to remove ammonia molecules remained on the surface, immersing the optical fiber into a corresponding acid solution for a period of time, and regulating the pH value of the optical fiber to re-dope the PANI film; after completion, the fiber was taken out and transferred to a drying oven, and sufficiently dried.
In the embodiment, the processes of dedoping and re-doping the PANI film are used for removing unreacted aniline monomers, oligomers and residual initiator molecules in the reaction process, eliminating the interference of the aniline monomers and oligomers on the gas-sensitive performance of the sensor and obtaining the sensor with stable performance; on the other hand, in order to realize the reversible regulation and control of PANI conductivity, NH is obtained 3 Rapid response/reply feature.
