Sensor activity of titanium dioxide nanotubes in relation to acetone molecules

Abstract

This paper presents the theoretical study results of the possibility of acetone, common volatile organic compound (VOCs) in human respiration, with titanium dioxide nanotubes. The efficiency of interaction of the acetone molecule with the TiO2 nanotube is analyzed. Recommendations for the creation of highly sensitive sensor devices using titanium dioxide nanotubes for diagnostics of various diseases have been developed.
