A novel room-temperature (RT) resistive-type NO2 gas sensor was developed by utilizing ZnO nanowires as sensitive materials and metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (m-SWCNT) as electrodes where both of them were fabricated by spray deposition process. The ZnO/m-SWCNT sensing devices showed better sensing response to NO2, as compared to traditional ZnO/Au sensing devices, which possess opposite sensing response. This can be attributed to different Schottky junction barrier characteristics at ZnO/m-SWCNT interface. This work paves the way to explore effective sensing and electrodes for future novel NO2 gas sensors in practical and rigid gas sensing system applications. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.
