Objective
Based on a very recent set of exploratory experiments performed within the consortium, this project will take benefit of the numerous plasma discharge operating parameters combined with plasma diagnostic tools, to fine tune and understand the physical properties of the treatment, and CONTROL the INTERFACIAL (chemical and structural) DEFECTS that will rule the deposition and growth of METAL NANOCLUSTERS deposited in the plasma onto CARBON NANOTUBE surfaces.
Nanoclusters with selected size, shape and density, will be prepared at different (small -large) scale in RF-cold plasmas, and in atmospheric dielectric barrier discharges from different precursors (organics, colloids and salt solutions) and fully and extensively characterized for their composition and electronic properties. The technology research will be backed up by modelling and theoretical calculations on graphene sheets, on gas-nanotube, metal-nanotube and metal-metal interaction at the nanoscale in order to understand, control, select and fine tune the reactivity (sensitivity, selectivity) of the material, for one type of selected application: chemical gas sensors.
One partner will design, optimise and test nano2hybrids sensors for benzene selective monitoring at the ppb level (highly useful for oil industry) and detecting DMMP molecules (one Sarin gas model). A special effort is devoted to the integration of the tasks and promotion to the citizens, via multimedia tools, of the project in particular, but also of the nanoscience in general.
