dc.description.abstractAcetone is one of the important volatile organic compounds which needs to be detected from the industrial effluent and as a bio-marker from breath of diabetic patients. Here, ultrathin Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film of octadecylamine- functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (ODA-CNT) was formed on interdigitated gold electrodes and was employed for acetone vapor sensing using the impedance spectroscopy (IS) at room temperature. The LB film deposited in liquid-like phase of the Langmuir monolayer of ODA-CNT revealed aligned nanotubes. Being a reducing agent, acetone interacts readily with the CNTs through the transfer of electrons. Using IS, multiparameter were measured with respect to both frequency and acetone vapor concentration. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the IS data revealed capacitance as the most suitable parameter for acetone vapor sensing using the ODA-CNT film. A very low limit of detection (0.5 ppm) and a wide detectable concentration range (1–300 ppm) for acetone sensing using the LB film of ODA-CNT was obtained. The 2D calibration map revealed that the sensing performance of acetone using LB film was much better as compared to that of drop-cast film of ODA-CNT and LB film of pristine CNTs. The superior sensing performance of the LB film of ODA-CNT is attributed to the uniform and aligned nature of the nanotubes, leading to a coherent behavior due to interaction with the acetone molecules. This study shows the potential of LB films of ODA-CNT for sensitive and low level detection of acetone vapor at room temperature.en_US
