The properties of multi-wall carbon nanotubes decorated with iridium oxide nanoparticles (IrOx-MWCNTs) are studied to detect harmful gases such as nitrogen dioxide and ammonia. IrOx nanoparticles were synthetized using a two-step method, based on a hydrolysis and acid condensation growth mechanism. The metal oxide nanoparticles obtained were employed for decorating the sidewalls of carbon nanotubes. Iridium-oxide nanoparticle decorated carbon nanotube material showed higher and more stable responses towards NH3 and NO2 than bare carbon nanotubes under different experimental conditions, establishing the optimal operating temperatures and estimating the limits of detection and quantification. Furthermore, the nanomaterials employed were studied using different morphological and compositional characterization techniques and a gas sensing mechanism is proposed.

The properties of Iridium oxide (IrO2) decorated Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (IrO2-MWCNTs) are studied for detecting nitrogen dioxide and ammonia vapors. IrO2 nanoparticles were synthetized using a hydrolysis and acid condensation growth mechanism, and subsequently employed for decorating the sidewalls of carbon nanotubes. Decorated MWCNTs films were deposited onto SiO2/Si substrates for achieving chemoresistive gas sensors. NO2 and NH3 gases were detected under different experimental conditions. Higher and more stable responses towards NH3 and NO2 were observed for iridium-oxide nanoparticle decorated MWCNT material, compared to bare MWCNT material. Raman Spectroscopy was employed to study the nanomaterials and the optimal operating temperatures were determined.
