Abstract

The invention discloses a gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes and metal nanoparticles and a construction method thereof. The construction method comprises the following specific steps: 1) mixing andstirring an HAuCl4 solution, a toluene solution of tetraoctyl ammonium bromide, a decanethiol solution and a sodium borohydride solution to obtain a gold nanoparticle solution covered with decanethiol; then adding 1,9-nonanedithiol and stirring to prepare gold nano-sol covered with the 1,9-nonanedithiol; 2) mixing a carbon nanotube hexane dispersion solution and the gold nano-sol covered with the1,9-nonanedithiol and stirring to form a compound solution; 3) immersing a micro-electrode into the compound solution, and adding a dichloromethane solution of a crosslinking agent and stirring at room temperature; finally, washing and drying the micro-electrode by blowing; connecting the micro-electrode with a multi-path electrical universal meter, and putting into a gas chamber so as to realizeconstruction of the gas sensor. The gas sensor disclosed by the invention can be used for qualitatively and quantitatively detecting common gas including alcohols, aldehydes, benzenes, alkanes and thelike in the atmosphere and has high sensitivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas sensors, in particular to a gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes and metal nanoparticles and a construction method thereof. Background technique [0002] Monolayer capping agent or molecularly connected metal nanoparticles as one of the components of the sensing device film has become an important method to construct a variety of highly sensitive electrochemical sensors and has been widely used. This type of sensor not only needs to have stable performance, but also has a significant surface area for the assembly or adsorption of the measured object. In addition, it should also have unique electrical properties in the application field of electrochemical gas sensing. [0003] As an electronic material, carbon nanotubes have semiconducting properties, and their unique physical and chemical properties make them one of the important materials for adjusting the surface properties of catalysts, chemical an...
