Fabrication and Characterization of MWCNTs Decorated ZnO Nanograins Based Sensor for Enhanced Performance Toward CO2 Gas

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The present work is concerned with the fabrication of CO2 sensors based on MWCNTs/ZnO material, which is obtained by RF magnetron sputtering and electron‐beam deposition methods. The sensor exhibits highly sensitive and selective behavior, high repeatability, and temporal stability at low CO2 concentrations.
