Abstract
Functionalized nanotube arrays, sensors, and related methods of detecting target compounds are presented. A functionalized nanotube array (235) can include a plurality of metal oxide nanotubes (240). The metal oxide nanotubes (240) can be formed of a metal oxide and can have an interior or exterior surface that is optionally functionalized with at least one metal ion. These metal nanotubes (240) can be used in a sensor (200) for detecting target compounds such as volatile organic compounds, and biomarkers in a fluid environment. The sensor (200) can further include a power source (245) configured to apply a voltage to the nanotube array (235) and a current sensor (250) configured to monitor and detect changes in a response current which varies upon binding with the target compounds.
