Composites of functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) of ≈15 nm diameter were drop-cast on a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate equipped with interdigitated electrodes to make a hybrid thin film. Addition of Au NPs decorated the surface of SWCNTs networked films and acted as catalysts which resulted into an enhanced sensitivity and low ppb concentration detection limit. The compositions of the film were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). SWCNTs clusters were loaded with various amount of Au NPs ranging from 1–10% (by weight) and their effect on Nitric oxide (NO) sensitivity was studied and optimized. Further, the optimized composite films were tested in both air and nitrogen environments and as well as over a wide relative humidity range (0–97%). Sensors were also tested for the selectivity by exposing to various gases such as nitrous oxide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and acetone. Sensitivity to NO was found much higher than the other tested gases. The advantage of this sensor is that it is sensitive to NO at low ppb level (10 ppb) with estimated response time within 10 s and recovery time around 1 min, and has excellent reproducibility from sensor to sensor and works within the wide range of relative humidity (0–97%). |
