The properties of multi-wall carbon nanotubes decorated with iridium oxide nanoparticles (IrO<sub>x</sub>-MWCNTs) are studied to detect harmful gases such as nitrogen dioxide and ammonia. IrO<sub>x</sub> nanoparticles were synthetized using a two-step method, based on a hydrolysis and acid condensation growth mechanism. The metal oxide nanoparticles obtained were employed for decorating the sidewalls of carbon nanotubes. Iridium-oxide nanoparticle decorated carbon nanotube material showed higher ...[more]
