Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Measuring the concentration of oxynitride NOx (including NO and NO2) can provide a scientific basis for determining its potential harm to the human body. The existing metal oxide semiconductor sensor arrays are greatly limited by high operating temperature and low integration. In this article, we report on a high-integration carbon nanotubes sensor array with two different electrode separations sensitive to oxynitride mixture at low temperature. The triple-electrode sensor array is comprised of a large carbon nanotube array cathode, two extracting electrodes and two collecting electrodes and worked at non-self-sustaining discharge state, which was determined by the study on current-voltage characteristic of a double-electrode structure sensor. Through studying the relationship between gas concentration and discharge current at 1 atm, we obtained the distinct sensitivities of the binary mixture in the concentration ranges of 0-1166 ppm NO and 0-712 ppm NO2 using the sensor array at low operating voltages and 60 degrees C. Collecting currents of the two sensors in the array decreased with increasing NO and NO2 concentration in the gas mixture. The repeatable characteristics and dynamical response tests of the sensors were also conducted. The proposed sensor array has potential for the direct detection of a NO-NO2 mixture without separating the mixed gases. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
