“…One benefit of this approach is that the density of CNTs forest (10 9 cm −2 ) is significantly lower than that used in previous reports (10 11 –10 12 cm −2 ) [80,81], which enables the sputtered Ni nanoparticles to be deposited inside and on top of the CNT forest rather than only aggregating on the top of CNTs as in the dense CNT arrays.…”

There has been an explosion of research into the physical and chemical properties of carbon-based nanomaterials, since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by Iijima in 1991. Carbon nanomaterials offer unique advantages in several areas, like high surface-volume ratio, high electrical conductivity, chemical stability and strong mechanical strength, and are thus frequently being incorporated into sensing elements. Carbon nanomaterial-based sensors generally have higher sensitivities and a lower detection limit than conventional ones. In this review, a brief history of glucose biosensors is firstly presented. The carbon nanotube and grapheme-based biosensors, are introduced in Sections 3 and 4, respectively, which cover synthesis methods, up-to-date sensing approaches and nonenzymatic hybrid sensors. Finally, we briefly outline the current status and future direction for carbon nanomaterials to be used in the sensing area.

“…where 0 ( ) I t is the modulated output intensity, 0 I is the average laser intensity over the modulation period, 1 i is the linear modulation coefficient with a phase shift ϕ occur between the laser intensity and reference sinusoidal frequency. Substituting (2) and 3into 1and expanding the formula with Fourier cosine series for harmonics detection, the signals of the first harmonic (1f) and second harmonic (2f) at the line center of absorption feature can be written as…”

“…A varieties of methods and strategies for the determination of this analyte have been reported for different purposes. Quantitative detection of ethanol is traditionally dominated by laboratory analytical technologies such as chromatography, spectrometry, and refractometry [2,3]. But these conventional analytical methods often require relatively expensive instruments which are laborious, complex, and time-consuming to operate.…”

With the progress of the laser manufacturing technology, trace gas sensors based on tunable interband cascade lasers (ICLs) and quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have been widely used to detect organic compounds with high sensitivity. Compared with overtone and combination bands in the near infrared region, for many species, the intensities of fundamental rotational-vibrational absorption bands in the mid-infrared region are much stronger. In this paper, we demonstrate an ethanol sensor using a room-temperature continuous-wave (CW) tunable ICL laser as a light source to detect ethanol vapor concentration with high sensitivity. Combined with the first harmonic (1f) normalized second harmonic (2f) wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) technology, the characteristics of the harmonics of the system are analyzed, and the amplitude of the first harmonic decrease with an increased concentration of ethanol has been demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. As a result, a detection limitation of 28 ppb is achieved.

“…Most experimental studies on CNT-Ni composites were dedicated to the development and improvement of fabrication process for improving the mechanical properties [21][22][23][24][25] or to use it as functional materials [14,[26][27][28][29]. Sun et al [21] fabricated CNT-reinforced nickel nanocomposites by using an innovative electrochemical co-deposition process and found that the tensile strength of CNT/Ni composite is as high as 2 GPa, which is three times that of pure nickel.…”

“…And the composites displayed well-defined pseudo capacitive capabilities with a high areal capacitance and good rate capability owing to the unique interconnected hybrid structure inherited from the conductive CNT network and porous NSAs. What's more, the addition of CNTs can also improve the properties of ethanol biosensor [28], glucose biosensor [29].…”

The mechanical behavior of nanocomposites consisting of highly ordered nanoporous nickel (HONN) and its carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced composites (CNHONNs) subjected to a high temperature of 900 K is investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The study indicates that, out-of-plane mechanical properties of the HONNs are generally superior to its in-plane mechanical properties. Whereas the CNT shows a significant strengthening effect on the out-of-plane mechanical properties of the CNHONN composites. Compared to pure HONNs, through the addition of CNTs from 1.28 wt‰ to 5.22 wt‰, the weight of the composite can be reduced by 5.83‰ to 2.33% while the tensile modulus, tensile strength, compressive modulus and compressive strength can be increased by 2.2% to 8.8%, 1% to 5.1%, 3.6% to 10.2% and 4.9% to 10.7%, respectively. The energy absorption capacity can also be improved due to the existence of CNTs. Furthermore, the MD simulations provide further insights into the deformation mechanism at the atomic scale, including fracture in tension, pore collapse in compression and local changes in lattice structures due to stacking faults.
