摘要：

A gas chemiresistor, fabricated onto alumina using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) networked films grown by radiofrequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) technology, is described for high-performance gas detection, at an operating temperature of 200 degrees C. Functionalizations of MWCNTs tangled bundle-films with nominally 5-nm thick Pt- and Pd-nanoclusters, prepared by magnetron Sputtering, provide higher sensitivity for significantly enhanced gas detection of NO2, H2S, NH3. CO, up to a low limit of sub-ppm level. The measured electrical conductance of the functionalized MWCNTs upon gas exposures is modulated by charge transfer with p-type semiconducting characteristics. Pt- and Pd-nanoclusters functionalized MWCNTs gas sensors exhibited better performances compared to unfunctionalized MWCNTs, making them promising candidates for air-pollutants environmental monitoring. Simple electronic interface for the chemiresistor has been developed with a voltage output of the sensor signal. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
