Monosaccharide-based SWCNT Enantioselective Gas Sensor

Shlomo Yitzchaik, Chemistry, Jerusalem, Israel (shlomo.yitzchaik@mail.huji.ac.il)

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (sc-SWCNT) are of great potential for vapor sensing. However, sc-SWCNT lacks recognition features for discriminating between molecules with similar structural features. Here, we used galactosides decorated with aromatic groups as a recognition layer in chemoresistive sc-SWCNT sensors to produce chiral preference toward limonene enantiomers.
