The proposed study describes the development of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-based gas sensor capable of detecting the presence of hydrogen (H₂) gas at room temperature. CNT yarn used in the proposed sensor was fabricated from synthesized CNT arrays. Subsequently, the yarn was treated by means of a simple one-step procedure, called acid treatment, to facilitate removal of impurities from the yarn surface and forming functional species. To verify the proposed sensor's effectiveness with regard to detection of H₂ gas at room temperature, acid-treated CNT and pure yarns were fabricated and tested under identical conditions. Corresponding results demonstrate that compared to the untreated CNT yarn, the acid-treated CNT yarn exhibits higher sensitivity to the presence of H₂ gas at room temperature. Additionally, the acid-treated CNT yarn was observed to demonstrate excellent selectivity pertaining to H₂ gas.
拟议的研究描述了一种基于碳纳米管(CNT)的气体传感器的开发,该传感器能够在室温下检测氢气(H₂)的存在。拟议传感器中使用的CNT纱线由合成的CNT阵列制成。随后,通过一种简单的一步法(称为酸处理)对纱线进行处理,以促进从纱线表面去除杂质并形成功能物种。为了验证拟议传感器在室温下检测H₂气体的有效性,制备了酸处理的CNT和纯纱线,并在相同条件下进行测试。相应结果表明,与未处理的CNT纱线相比,酸处理的CNT纱线在室温下对H₂气体的存在表现出更高的灵敏度。此外,观察到酸处理的CNT纱线对H₂气体表现出优异的选择性。
