Abstract:

A method of ethanol concentration detection based on surface plasmon resonance is proposed. Therefore, a novel prism coupling structure is designed for the ethanol concentration sensor by use of the unique feature of graphene oxide (GO) to ethanol in water, and the TiO2-ZnO composite film is chosen to enhance surface plasmon resonance with molybdenum disulfide — graphene oxide hybrid nano-sheet. The thickness of each layer for the structure are analyzed to get the optimal value by the finite element method, in order that the sensitivity is able to be improved greatly. The optimal thickness of each layer is given, and the sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance ethanol concentration sensor can reach as high as 0.089% conc. within the detection range of ethanol concentration, 0–80°/% conc. And the relationship between surface plasmon resonance angle and ethanol concentration is obtained within the detection range of ethanol concentration.
