Solid-state chemiresistive gas sensors have attracted a lot of researchers’ attention during the last half-century thanks to their ability detect different gases with high sensitivity, low power consumption, cost, and portability. Among most promising sensitive materials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) interest due large active surface area (in range 50–1400 m2/g, depending on composition) fact that they can operate at room temperature. In this study, single-walled nanotube (SWCNT)-based sensing...
Among the various chemoresistive gas sensing properties studied so far, response reproducibility, i.e., capability to reproduce a device with same performance, has been poorly investigated. However, reproducibility of performance is fundamental importance for employment these devices in on-field applications, and demonstrate reliability process development. This sensor property became crucial preparation medical diagnostic tools, which use specific sensors along dedicated algorithm can be...
