The Investigation of Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) Formaldehyde Sensors Based on PEI-MWCNTs Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The detection of formaldehyde is very necessary and important in both industrial and residential environments. In this paper, a novel quartz crystal microbalances (QCM) formaldehyde gas sensor has been successful fabricated based on Polyethylenimine (PEI)-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite films by the spraying process. The morphology of films was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and formaldehyde-sensing properties of sensors were investigated. The results showed that the prepared QCM gas sensor exhibited good response and recovery behaviors towards formaldehyde gas in the concentration range of 0-10 ppm at room temperature, which also has the superior repeatability and selectivity. Moreover, the gas-sensing mechanism of sensors was studied.
