The effect of carbon nanotube dispersion on CO gas sensing characteristics of polyaniline gas sensor

Polyaniline is one of the most promising conducting polymers for gas sensing applications due to its relatively high stability and n or p type doping capability. However, the conventionally doped polyaniline still exhibits relatively high resistivity, which causes difficulty in gas sensing measureme...
