Abstract
Here we report the fabrication of a CNT-Al2O3-Ag-TiO2 composite nanomaterial through a two-step process: (1) constructing the CNT-Al2O3-Ag composite on a silicon substrate using electrophoretic deposition (EPD), and (2) integrating Ti particles by magnetron sputtering followed by annealing.Comparing with the CNT-Al2O3 and CNT-Al2O3-Ag samples, the CNT-Al2O3-Ag-TiO2 composite demonstrated the best field emission (FE) performance with a turn-on field of 2.1 V/ m and a threshold field of 4.76 V/ m.Under an oxygen pressure of 210 Pa, the CNT-Al2O3-Ag-TiO2 composite exhibited the best stability with current fluctuations of about 2% at a current density of 2.5 mA/cm.In hydrogen sensing tests, the CNT-Al2O3-Ag-TiO2 sample showed the best performance, displaying a 176% increase in sensing current at 510 Pa and an 87% increase at 810 Pa within 5 minutes at the initial current of 1.0 A, highlighting its enhanced sensitivity.These results demonstrated that the CNT-Al2O3-Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite is a promising candidate for field emission and high sensitive low-pressure hydrogen sensing applications.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Stem Cells (Int J Stem Cells), a peer-reviewed open access journal, principally aims to provide a forum for investigators in the field of stem cell biology to present their research findings and share their visions and opinions. Int J Stem Cells covers all aspects of stem cell biology including basic, clinical and translational research on genetics, biochemistry, and physiology of various types of stem cells including embryonic, adult and induced stem cells. Reports on epigenetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics of stem cells are welcome as well. Int J Stem Cells also publishes review articles, technical reports and treatise on ethical issues.
