Abstract:

Functionalized-multi wall carbon nanotubes (F-MWCNTs) and functionalized-single wall carbon nanotubes (F-SWCNTs) were well enhanced using NiO Nanoparticles. The sensor device consisted of a film of sensitive material (F-MWCNTs/ Nickel oxide nanoparticles) and (F-SWCNTs/ Nickel oxide nanoparticles) deposited by drop casting on n-type porous silicon substrate. The two sensors perform high sensitivity to NO2 gas at particular temperatures. The analysis indicated that the (F-MWCNTs/NiONPs) have a better performance than (F-SWCNTs/NiONPs). The F-SWCNTs/NiONPs gas sensor shows high sensitivity (18.2 %) at RT with response time 16 sec, while F-MWCNTs/NiONPs gas sensor show better sensitivity (45 %) at RT with response time 26 sec. The device shows a very reproducible sensor performance, with high repeatability, complete recovery and adequate response. A demonstration of the improvement in sensing of NO2 gas using NiO-functionalized nanotubes is provided.
