Abstract

In this work, we have attempted to fabricate flexible single walled carbon nanotube based sensor for detection of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) an explosive chemical. For analyte sensing study, the flexible sensor is fabricated by vacuum filtration method. These fabricated gas sensors are characterised by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The sensor response is investigated toward the explosive chemicals which have NO2 group in their molecular structure. The fabricated sensor is able to detect the traces of DNT at room temperature. The sensor gives 0.28–0.32% repeatable response to 0.22 ppm of DNT. The response of sensor increases with increase in the vapour concentration of the DNT vapours.
