Selective Detection of Ethylene Gas Using Carbon Nanotube‐based Devices: Utility in Determination of Fruit Ripeness

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Comparing apples and oranges: A chemoresistive sensor for ethylene can be obtained simply by mixing copper complex 1 with single-walled carbon nanotubes. The resulting devices show sub-ppm sensitivity and high selectivity towards ethylene. The utility of the sensor was demonstrated by following ripening stages in different fruits.
