摘要The gas sensing properties of the single-walled carbon nanotube networked field-effect transistors for NO2 are investigated. After the modification of the gold contact electrodes of the carbon nanotube transistors with the thiolated heme, the NO2 sensing results indicate that the sensing sensitivity of the modified transistors is enhanced greatly and the sensing limit can reach below 100 ppb. It is also proposed that the mechanism of the sensitivity enhancement for NO2 detection mainly results from the modulation of the Schottky energy barrier at the Au/CNTs junction upon thiolated heme facilitated NO2 adsorption.
