Abstract
In this study, the colorimetric sensor, polyester (PET) fabric dyed with lead (II) acetate (Pb(C2H3O2)2), was fabricated and characterized for the detection of the hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The surface morphology of the fabric was determined using scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The optical properties of the fabric were evaluated by measuring the variation in the blue value of an RGB sensor. The fabric showed a significant color change, high linearity (R2: 0.98256), and fast response time (< 1.0 s) when exposed to H2S. This is because the sensor is highly porous and permeable to the gas. The fabric can not only be used as a hydrogen sulfide sensor but also be used to detect and prevent H2S influx using sticky tape on pipelines.
