摘要
A nanowire structured nanocomposite of tin oxide (SnOx) and a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) are fabricated using rheotaxial growth and thermal oxidation method for gas sensor application. The morphology, gas sensing properties, as well as the chemical and electrical properties are investigated. The oxidation temperature for Sn mainly determines the stoichiometry of the SnOx nano-beads, and consequently the electrical and gas sensing properties of the nanocomposite sensors. The gas sensing to nitrogen oxide, hydrogen, oxygen, xylene, acetone, carbon monoxide, and ammonia are also examined to determine the gas selectivity of the sensor. The high sensitivity and selectivity towards NOx of the nanocomposite sensor is realized via the porous structure of the SWNT template. The gas sensing mechanism of the nanocomposite structure is also discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
