Abstract

The industrial application of the ionized gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is limited by its small collecting current. This paper built a model to simulate the electrostatic field and the gas ionization process of the ionized sensor based on CNTs. As suggested by the simulation result, an optimized structure of the CNT-based gas sensor with a high collecting current was designed. The optimized sensor structure facilitates the collection of positive ions, increasing the collecting current. The feasibility of the simulation model and the simulation results of the sensor's structure optimization was verified through experiments at different voltages in N2. The collecting current of the sensor with the optimized structure is more significant than that of the one with the other structure. The findings of this study provide an effective method for researching nanodevices.
