Abstract:		"The reactions of acetaldehyde with O atoms in the cages of large-pore zeolites have been discovered to result in light emission. The luminescence characteristics of acetaldehyde vapours passing through the surface of chosen zeolites were studied using a cataluminescence-based detection system. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method, the detection of acetaldehyde using catalysts was studied systematically and a linear response of 0.06-31.2 microg/mL acetaldehyde vapour was obtained. Methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, methylbenzene, chloroform, dichlormethane and acetonitrile did not interfere with the determination of acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde vapour could also be distinguished from some homologous series such as formaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and benzaldehyde on this catalyst, possibly due to the stereoselectivity of the zeolite and its specific reaction mechanism. Moreover, acetaldehyde was quantified without detectable interference from formaldehyde in four artificial samples. Thus, this kind of cataluminescence-based sensor could be potentially extended to the analysis of volatile organic compounds in air, and the simple and portable properties of cataluminescence-based sensors could also make them beneficial in many areas of analytical science"
