  • To investigate the mechanisms underlying gas sensing in liquid marbles.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of liquid marbles with porous, superhydrophobic shells.
  • Loading liquid marbles with various indicators sensitive to specific gases.
  • Exposure of liquid marbles to different gases and observation of indicator response.
  • Simultaneous exposure to multiple gases to test multi-gas sensing capabilities.

Main Results:

  • The superhydrophobic shell effectively prevented liquid core contact while permitting gas transport.
  • Liquid marbles demonstrated distinct responses to different gases based on the incorporated indicators.
  • Simultaneous sensing of multiple gases was achieved using liquid marbles with multiple indicators.
  • The mechanisms for gas sensing varied depending on the indicator and the target gas.

Conclusions:

  • Liquid marbles are versatile platforms for gas sensing due to their unique shell properties.
