In this study, core-shell-shaped nanocomposites composed of a single-walled carbon nanotube and C8F-doped polypyrrole/phenyllatic acid were synthesized for detecting acetone gas with high sensitivity and humidity stability. The nanocomposites showed reliable detection of acetone gas at concentrations as low as 50 ppb even at 25 degrees C, which is suitable for medical diagnoses.
We synthesized core-shell-shaped nanocomposites composed of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and heptadecafluorooctanesulfonic acid-doped polypyrrole (C8F-dopedPPy)/phenyllatic acid (PLA), i.e., C8F-doped-PPy/PLA@SWCNT, for detecting acetone gas with high sensitivity and humidity stability. The obtained nanocomposites have the structural features of a sensing material as a C8F-doped-PPy layer surrounding a single-stranded SWCNT, and a PLA layer on the outer surface of the PPy as a specific sensing layer for acetone. PLA was chemically combined with the positively charged PPy backbone and provided the ability to reliably detect acetone gas at concentrations as low as 50 ppb even at 25 degrees C, which is required for medical diagnoses via human breath analysis. When C8F was contained in the pyrrole monomer in a ratio of 0.1 mol, it was able to stably detect an effective signal in a relative humidity (RH) of 0-80% range.
