摘要

Increasing use of industrial chemicals poses significant risks to human health, underscoring the urgent need for rapid and accurate detection methods. In this study, we theoretically designed and analyzed a hybrid graphene–Au–Ag metasurface surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for detecting methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol. The sensor integrates a graphene layer with three triangularly arranged gold resonators surrounding a hollow silver cylinder, leveraging the synergistic plasmonic and optical properties of these materials to enhance performance. Parametric studies on substrate thickness (Hs), resonator thickness (Hr), and graphene Fermi energy ( \(\:{\text{E}}_{f}\) ) reveal significant improvements in sensor metrics. The sensor demonstrates an outstanding figure of merit (FOM) of 75, 81.48, and 93.75 RIU⁻¹, while preserving high refractive-index sensitivity of 750, 814.8, and 937.50 nm/RIU for isopropanol, ethanol, and methanol, respectively, outperforming many previously reported graphene-assisted plasmonic sensors.
