Abstract

Highly oriented PPy nanotubes are grown by in situ vapor phase polymerization within a nanoscale template under low temperature. As-fabricated PPy nanotubes are used for gas sensing, where an ultralow detection limit (0.05 ppb) and very fast response are achieved. Such an in situ mass-productive method for synthesizing highly oriented conducting polymers may pave a new step toward next-generation gas sensors.
