Abstract

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) were added into ZnO matrix to develop a CNTs/ZnO composite gas sensor. The hybrid sensor is used to detect CO in air by measuring resistance changes of thin CNTs/ZnO films at different working temperature. For comparison, pure ZnO and CNT/ZnO sensors are also examined. The gas sensing results reveal that CNTs/ZnO with the weight ratio (9:100) hybrid sensors exhibit much higher sensitivity and fast response-recovery properties towards CO, at 240°C than the blank ZnO nanowires. Hybrid material of ZnO nanowires and CNT composites could potentially display not only the unique properties of nanowires and those of CNTs, but also an additional novel property.
