In this study, we produced a light, flexible, wearable gas sensor by depositing MWCNTs (Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes) into nylon. MWCNTs are widely used as a gas sensor material due to their excellent mechanical, electrical and physical characteristics. We produced a gas sensor to detect NOx gases by depositing nylon yarn in a MWCNT solution. The MWCNT solution was made by mixing 3 mg MWCNT in 5 ml of ethanol. Nylon yarn was placed in the manufactured solution and ultrasonic waves were applied using an ultrasonicator for 3 h, resulting in MCWNT deposition. The MWCNT-deposited nylon yarn was dried at room temperature for 24 h. The MWCNT-thin-film-coated nylon yarn was masked 1 mm apart, and gold was then deposited on the masked nylon yarn to create the gas sensor. The sensor then was installed in a chamber with a controlled atmospheric environment and exposed to NOx gas. The changing signal from the sensor was amplified to analyze its gas detection characteristics.

In this study, we fabricated NOX gas sensor by using multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT)/zinc oxide(ZnO) composite film. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have good electronic, chemical-stability, and sensitivity characteristics. And zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap and large exciton binding energy semiconductor. In particular, gas sensors require characteristics such as high speed, sensitivity, and selectivity. The fabricated gas sensor was used to detect NOX gas for different values of the NOX gas concentrations. The gas sensor that absorbed NOX gas molecules showed a increasing in resistance. The sensitivity of the gas sensor was increased by increasing the gas concentrations. Additionally, while changing the temperature inside the chamber for the MWCNT/ZnO composite film gas sensor, we obtained the sensitivity. And the comparison analysis to ZnO film gas sensor for detecting NOX gas. From the experiment result, we confirmed improvement of NOX gas detection characteristics using the MWCNT/ZnO composite film.

Carbon nanotubes(CNT) has chemical stability and great sensitivity characteristics. In particular, the gassensor required characteristics such as rapid, selectivity and sensitivity sensor. Therefore, CNT are ideal materialsto gas sensor. So, we fabricated the NOx gas sensors of MOS-FET type using the MWCNT (multi-walled carbonnanotube). The fabricated sensor was used to detect the NOx gas for the variation of Vgs (gate-source voltage)and electrode changed electrode spacing=30, 60, 90[㎛]. The gas sensor absorbed with the NOx gas moleculesshowed the decrease of resistance, and the sensitivity of sensor was increased by magnification of electrodespacing. Furthermore, when the voltage(Vgs) was applied to the gas sensor, the decrease in resistance wasincreased. On the other hand, the sensor sensitivity for the injection of NOx gas was the highest value at theelectrode spacing 90[㎛]. We also obtained the adsorption energy(Vgs) using the Arrhenius plots by the reduction ofresistance due to the voltage variations. As a result, we obtained that the adsorption energy was increased withthe increment of the applied voltages.

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) has the excellent physical characteristics in the sensor, medicine, manufacturing and energy fields, and it has been studied in those fields for the several years. We fabricated the NOx gas sensors of MOS-FET type using the MWCNT. The fabricated sensor was used to detect the NOx gas for the variation of Vgs (gate-source voltage) with the ambient temperature. The gas sensor absorbed the NOx gas molecules showed the decrease of resistance, and the sensitivity of sensor was reduced by the NOx gas molecules accumulated on the MWCNT surface. Furthermore, when the voltage (Vgs) was applied to the gas sensor, the term of the decrease in resistance was increased. On the other hand, the sensor sensitivity for the injection of NOx gas was the highest value at the ambient temperature of 40℃. We also obtained the adsorption energy (Vgs)using the Arrhenius plots by the reduction of resistance due to the Vgs voltage variations. As a result, we obtained that the adsorption energy also was increased with the increasement of the applied Vgs voltages.

Carbon nanotubes(CNT) has strength and chemical stability, greatly conductivity characteristics. In particular, MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) show rapidly resistance sensitive for changes in the ambient gas, and therefore they are ideal materials to gas sensor. So, we fabricated NOx gas sensors structured MOS-FET using MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) material. We investigate the change resistance of NOx gas sensors based on MOS-FET with ultra lean NOx gas concentrations absorption. And NOx gas sensors show sensitivity on the change of gate-source voltage (V98 =0[V] or V98=3.5[V]). The gas sensors show the increase of sensitivity with increasing the temperature (largest value at 40℃). On the other hand, the sensitivity of sensors decreased with increasing of NOx gas concentration. In addition, We obtained the adsorption energy(Ua), Ua = 0.06714[eV] at the NOx gas concentration of 8[ppm], Ua = 0.06769[eV] at 16[ppm], Ua = 0.06847[eV] at 24[ppm] and Ua = 0.06842[eV] at 32[ppm], of NOx gas molecules concentration on the MWCNT gas sensors surface with using the Arrhenius plots. As a result, the saturation phenomena is occurred by NOx gas injection of concentration for 32[ppm].
