Fig. 2

a CO2 sensing mechanism. b Spectral properties of the constituents of the CO2 sensor: (A) Absorption spectrum of La2O2S:Eu; (B) Emission spectrum of La2O2S:Eu; (C) Absorption spectrum of the basic form of α-naphtholphthalein; and (D) Emission spectrum of the UV LED. c Relationship between the luminescence intensity and the CO2 concentration fitted to the equation by Nakamura and Amao25 (n = 5. Data are presented as mean values ± 1SD). d Response and recovery time of the developed sensor while increasing and decreasing CO2 concentrations from 0% to 100% and vice versa.
