Electron beam evaporated carbon nanotube dispersed SnO2 thin film gas sensor
Carbon nanotube (CNT) is a useful material for gas-sensing applications because of its high surface to volume ratio structure. In this work, multi-wall CNTs are incorporated into tin oxide thin film by means of powder mixing and electron beam evaporation and the enhancement of gas-sensing properties...
