Abstract
In this study, waste oil was used to produce multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). TEM, FE-SEM and AFM
techniques were used to characterise MWCNTs. In addition, the sizes of the synthesised MWCNTs ranged from
28.3 to 49.51 nm. The FTIR technique was used to prove the production of MWCNTCOO. The produced
MWCNTCOO were evaluated as gas sensors for H 2 The higher H 2 S and NO 2 ◦ S sensitivity response was recorded at 70
gases at various temperatures and time intervals. C, with a response of 10.6, meanwhile, the greater NO sensitivity response was observed at 190 ◦ C, with a response of 29.9. At 25 ◦ 2 C, the response and recovery times for 100 ppm H 2 ◦ S gas were 18.9 and 96.3 s, respectively, whereas, at 100 C, they were 28.8 and 85.5 s,
respectively, thereby demonstrating that the sensor has unique response recovery features
Description
MWCNT-based materials are carbon nanotubes that are used in gas sensors for detecting hydrogen (H₂). Due to their high surface area, electrical conductivity, and unique structure, MWCNTs interact effectively with hydrogen molecules, altering their electrical properties. Characterization of these materials typically involves techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for structural analysis, and gas sensing tests to evaluate response, sensitivity, and selectivity towards H₂
