摘要
We report the synthesis, electrical characterization and ammonia gas sensing with single nanowire of conducting polypyrrole. Three hundred nanometer in diameter and 50 to 60 pm long polypyrrole nanowires were synthesized by chemical polymerization inside SiO2 coated alumina membranes. Temperature dependent electrical resistance studies established that the chemically synthesized nanowires were more ordered compared to electrochemically synthesized nanowires. We further demonstrated that gas sensors based on single polypyrrole nanowire exhibited good sensitivity towards ammonia, and provided a reliable detection at concentration as low as approximately 40 ppm.
