The presence of oxygen on carbon nanotubes enhances interaction with ammonia

Discovery could help in the development of sensors against chemical threats

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), which could play an important role in developing sensors against chemical threats, have enhanced interaction with ammonia because of the presence of oxygen groups on the nanotubes, researchers at Temple University have discovered.
