Large-Scale Integrated Carbon Nanotube Gas Sensors

Abstract

Carbon nanotube (CNT) is a promising one-dimensional nanostructure for various nanoscale electronics. Additionally, nanostructures would provide a significant large surface area at a fixed volume, which is an advantage for high-responsive gas sensors. However, the difficulty in fabrication processes limits the CNT gas sensors for the large-scale production. We review the viable scheme for large-area application including the CNT gas sensor fabrication and reaction mechanism with a practical demonstration.
