Novel chemoresistive CH4 sensor with 10 ppm sensitivity based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes functionalized with SnO2 nanocrystals
TL;DR: In this paper, an effective atomic layer deposition based approach to functionalize the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with SnO2 nanocrystals, resulting in a novel CH4 sensor with 10 ppm sensitivity, is presented.
