Abstract

Abstract This work focuses on the elaboration of sorted semi-conducting single walled carbon nanotube films (SC-SWCNT films), and the evaluation of a gas microsensor based on these films. First, we show that semi-conducting carbon nanotubes could be sorted from solutions containing both metallic and semi-conducting nanotubes by ultracentrifugation in a density gradient. SC-SWCNT films were then obtained by filtration through a nitrocellulose membrane, then transferred on TLM (transmission line method) electrodes to separately measure the resistivity and the contact resistance. We finally show characterization results obtained using NO2 and NH3 as a target gas.
