Abstract

A chemical gas sensor with a novel pad pattern applicable to NH3, NO2, and H2 gas was developed based on single-walled carbon nanotube ropes. In this pattern named BCE (Barricade confronting electrode), several electrodes were located at the circumference of a sample and each pair of electrode tips was designed to confront to each other with a narrow interval. Several single-walled carbon nanotubes were shifted to the interval by the centrifugal force generated through the rapid rotation of a sample equipped on the spinner. Our device showed improved performance for NO2, NH3, and H2 gases compared with others in references.
