چکیده
We have developed innovative and efficient strategy for the preparation and improvement of sensing performance of well-ordered titania nanotubes. We have synthesized different materials based on titania nanotubes using cost-effective techniques. The morphological and structural analyses of the prepared materials have been carried out. The sensing properties of the structures have been studied towards NO2. Investigations have shown the functionalization process has crucial effect on sensing properties of titania nanotubes. The obtained results demonstrate that the prepared structures are promising for the potential applications in the area of chemical sensors for the environmental monitoring.
