Abstract

The detection of low concentration formaldehyde as a potential breath marker for lung cancer is a technical challenge in the current gas sensor field due to its weak electrical signal and its susceptibility to humidity. Here, we report on a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and experimental data to establish that aldehydes in super-saturated water vapor (80% humidity) can be detected using nanotubes molecular field-effect transistors. A thin film of high-purity semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) network and a catalytic metal were used as the sensing material. The fabricated back-gated Pt-decorated SWCNT FET sensors showed a response of 26.99% to 300 ppm formaldehyde at room temperature and humidity of 80% which is 11.58 times greater than that obtained for its detection using back gated bare SWCNT FET. DFT calculation also confirmed that the sensitivity of Pt-decorated SWCNT toward methanediol (formaldehyde in humidity) detection is 7.29 greater than that obtained for methanediol detection using pristine SWCNT. Moreover, the fabricated back-gated Pt-decorated SWCNT FET sensors exhibited a good recovery of 115 sec towards 300 ppm formaldehyde at 70 °C with sub-ppb theoretical calculation limit-of-detection (LOD). Hence, back-gated Pt-decorated SWCNT FET sensor is a promising candidate for easy screening of lung cancer patients.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
