On-site portable detection of gaseous methyl iodide using an electrochemical method

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Jan 25;60(9):1168-1171. doi: 10.1039/d3cc05876j.

Abstract

We report an electrochemical device for portable on-site detection of gaseous CH3I based on PVIm-F for the first time. The device achieves detection of gaseous CH3I with a significant selectivity and a low detection limit (0.474 ppb) in 20 min at 50 °C and 50% relative humidity, which is of great significance for achieving real-time on-site monitoring of radioactive hazardous environments.
