Cover Story: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a critical role in environmental safety and human health, yet conventional sensors often lack spatial information. This study presents a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) gas sensor based on gold nano-urchins coated with a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8), enabling both sensitive detection and real-time visualization of VOCs. The optimized ZIF-8 layer enhances molecular adsorption near plasmonic “hot spots,” amplifying the refractive-index response. Integrated with a camera-based LSPR platform, the sensor transforms invisible gas plumes into vivid pseudo-color images, revealing dynamic concentration distributions. This work demonstrates a promising route toward visual, multimodal plasmonic sensors for environmental and healthcare monitoring. View this paper
