Effectively enhanced sensitivity of a polyaniline–carbon nanotube composite thin film bolometric near-infrared sensor

Abstract

The polyanilinecarbon nanotube composite thin film bolometric near-infrared sensor exhibited more than a two orders of magnitude sensitivity enhancement over both the polyaniline thin film and carbon nanotube network NIR sensor. We also investigated the mechanism of the effectively enhanced sensitivity of the composite material and demonstrated that it is a synergistic effect due to the higher heat generation of carbon nanotubes and higher temperature coefficient of resistance of polyaniline.
