Abstract
Provided are a nanowire sensor and a method of manufacturing the same. The nanowire sensor includes: a sensing target system comprising a target element to be detected; two electrodes separated from each other contained in the sensing target system; vanadium oxide (V2O5) nanowires incorporated in the sensing target system and attached to the two electrodes; and a measuring unit for measuring a change in resistance of the nanowires as the nanowires detect the target element.
Claims10
A nanowire sensor comprising:
- a sensing target system comprising a target element to be detected;
- two electrodes separated from each other contained in the sensing target system;
- vanadium oxide (V2O5) nanowires incorporated in the sensing target system and attached to the two electrodes;
- and
- a measuring unit for measuring a change in resistance of the nanowires as the nanowires detect the target element.
A method of manufacturing of a nanowire sensor, comprising:
- providing two electrode separated from each other;
- introducing V2O5 nanowires to be suspended between the two electrodes;
- applying an alternating voltage between the two electrodes such that the nanowires are arranged separated from each other due to the applied alternating current electric field;
- attaching the arranged nanowires to the two electrodes to be bridged between the two electrodes;
- and
- electrically connecting the two electrodes to a measuring unit.
A method of manufacturing a nanowire sensor, comprising:
- preparing a solution in which V2O5 nanowires are dispersed;
- introducing the solution on and between two electrodes;
- applying an alternating voltage between the two electrodes such that the nanowires dispersed in the solution are arranged to be bridged between the two electrodes and separated from each other, due to the applied alternating current electric field;
- evaporating a solvent in the solution;
- attaching the arranged nanowires to the two electrodes;
- and
- electrically connecting the two electrodes to a measuring unit.
