Langmuir-Blodgett Film of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Hydrogen Sensor on Paper

Article Preview

Abstract:

Langmuir-Blodgett technique was applied to build optically homogeneous film of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on paper substrate. The palladium (Pd) nanoparticles were drop-casted onto MWCNTs network films before being exposed in hydrogen (H2) gas molecules environment under vacuum and atmospheric pressure at room temperature. The results demonstrate that the functionalized MWCNTs dispersed with Pd nanoparticles show good H2 sensing response on paper substrate where the sensitivity of around 10 % was recorded at only 2 minutes exposure time.
