Abstract
Sensors for detecting a formaldehyde-containing gas may include a first electrode and a second electrode; and an arylphosphine nanomaterial construct disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the arylphosphine nanomaterial construct including single-walled carbon nanotubes; and an arylphosphine including at least one aryl group. Methods for detecting formaldehyde include exposing a sensor to a formaldehyde-containing gas, the sensor including a first electrode and a second electrode; and an arylphosphine nanomaterial construct disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the arylphosphine nanomaterial construct including single-walled carbon nanotubes; and an arylphosphine containing at least one aryl group; monitoring a resistance between the first electrode and the second electrode; and determining a formaldehyde concentration from the resistance.
