In order to ensure the health and welfare of livestock, there has been an emphasis on precision farming of ruminant animals. Monitoring the life index of ruminant animals is of importance for intelligent farming. Here, a wearable sensor for monitoring ultraviolet (UV) radiation is demonstrated to understand the effect of primary and secondary photosensitization on dairy animals. Thin films of wide bandgap semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) comprising multilevel of nanostructures from microparticles (MP) to nanoparticles (NP), and tetrapod (T-ZnO), were prepared as the UV sensing active materials. The sensitivity was evaluated by exposing the films to various radiation sources, i.e., 365 nm (UV A), 302 nm (UV B), and 254 nm (UV C), and measuring the electrical resistance change. T-ZnO is found to exhibit higher sensitivity and stable response (on/off) upon exposure to UV A and UV B radiation, which is attributed to their higher surface area, aspect ratio, porosity, and interconnective networks inducing a high density of chemical interaction sites and consequently improved photocurrent generation. A wearable sensor using T-ZnO is packaged and attached to a collar for dynamic monitoring of UV response on ruminant animals (e.g., sheep in this study). The excellent performance of T-ZnO wearable sensors for ruminant animals also holds the potential for a wider range of applications such as residential buildings and public spaces.
为了确保牲畜的健康和福利,反刍动物的精准养殖一直受到重视。监测反刍动物的生命指数对智能养殖具有重要意义。在此,我们展示了一种用于监测紫外线(UV)辐射的可穿戴传感器,以了解原发性和继发性光敏化对乳制品动物的影响。作为紫外线传感活性材料,制备了宽带隙半导体氧化锌(ZnO)薄膜,包括从微粒子(MP)到纳米粒子(NP)的多级纳米结构,以及四足(T-ZnO)。通过将薄膜暴露于各种辐射源,即 365 纳米(紫外线 A)、302 纳米(紫外线 B)和 254 纳米(紫外线 C),并测量电阻变化,对其灵敏度进行了评估。研究发现,T-ZnO 在暴露于紫外线 A 和紫外线 B 辐射时表现出更高的灵敏度和稳定的响应(开/关),这归因于其较高的表面积、长宽比、孔隙率和互连网络诱导了高密度的化学作用位点,从而改善了光电流的产生。使用 T-ZnO 的可穿戴传感器已封装并附在项圈上,用于动态监测反刍动物(如本研究中的羊)对紫外线的反应。反刍动物用 T-ZnO 可穿戴传感器的卓越性能也为住宅建筑和公共场所等更广泛的应用提供了潜力。
