Carbon nanotube gas and vapor sensors

Carbon nanotubes have aroused great interest since their discovery in 1991. Because of the vast potential of these materials, researchers from diverse disciplines have come together to further develop our understanding of the fundamental properties governing their electronic structure and susceptibility towards chemical reaction. Carbon nanotubes show extreme sensitivity towards changes in their local chemical environment that stems from the susceptibility of their electronic structure to interacting molecules. This chemical sensitivity has made them ideal candidates for incorporation into the design of chemical sensors. Towards this end, carbon nanotubes have made impressive strides in sensitivity and chemical selectivity to a diverse array of chemical species. Despite the lengthy list of accomplishments, several key challenges must be addressed before carbon nanotubes are capable of competing with state-of-the-art solid-state sensor materials. The development of carbon nanotube based sensors is still in its infancy, but continued progress may lead to their integration into commercially viable sensors of unrivalled sensitivity and vanishingly small dimensions.

Hierarchical Structures of Carbon Nanotubes and Arrays of Chromium‐Capped Silicon Nanopillars: Formation and Electrical Properties

The formation of stochastically oriented carbon‐nanotube networks on top of an array of free‐standing chromium‐capped silicon nanopillars is reported. The combination of nanosphere lithography and chemical vapor deposition enables the construction of nanostructures that exhibit a hierarchical sequence of structural sizes. Metallic chromium serves as an etching mask for Si‐pillar formation and as a nucleation site for the formation of carbon nanotubes through the chemical vapor deposition of ethene, ethanol, and methane, respectively, thereby bridging individual pillars from top to top. Iron and cobalt were applied onto the chromium caps as catalysts for CNT growth and the influence of different carbon sources and different gas‐flow rates were investigated. The carbon nanotubes were structurally characterized and their DC electrical properties were studied by in situ local‐ and ex situ macroscopic measurements, both of which reveal their semiconductor properties. This process demonstrates how carbon nanotubes can be integrated into Si‐based semiconductors and, thus, this process may be used to form high‐surface‐area sensors or new porous catalyst supports with enhanced gas‐permeation properties.

Controlled Dispersion and Purification of Protein–Carbon Nanotube Conjugates Using Guanidine Hydrochloride

For the development of biofunctional carbon nanotubes for biosensors, drug carriers, and nanobiocatalysts, their aggregation and biofouling in aqueous solutions are crucial problems because this behavior leads to a reduction of their excellent optical and electrical properties and nanoscale size effects. This paper presents a new method for enhancing the dispersibility of protein–carbon nanotube conjugates and for exfoliating the protein from the carbon nanotube sidewalls through controlling the concentration of guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn ? HCl) in the solution. In medium concentrations (2–3 M ) of Gdn ? HCl, the dispersibility of protein–carbon nanotube conjugates was found to be substantially increased without denaturation or aggregation of the proteins. At higher concentrations (>6 M ) of Gdn ? HCl, pristine carbon nanotubes were precipitated instantly as a result of dissociation of the protein. These phenomena indicate that Gdn ? HCl functions not only as a dispersion adjuvant for biofunctional protein–carbon nanotube conjugates, but also as a cleaning agent for the purification of biofouled carbon nanotubes. The dissociation concentrations of Gdn ? HCl were higher than the midpoint of protein denaturation, suggesting that protein adsorption on carbon nanotubes is more stable than protein folding toward Gdn ? HCl.
