Abstract

The invention relates to a nano chemical sensor based on a semiconductor nanowire and capable of supplying power by self and a preparation method thereof. The nano chemical sensor comprises a semiconductor nanowire, wherein the semiconductor nanowire grows on a substrate which is non-conductingg and can not react with an organic chemical molecule; one part of the growing semiconductor nanowire is covered by a seal layer which is non-conductive, not dissolved in an organic chemical solvent and water and does not react with the semiconductor nanowire and electrodes; one of the electrodes is connected with the semiconductor nanowire sealed by the seal layer, and the other electrode is connected with the semiconductor nanowire which is not sealed by the seal layer; when the nano chemical sensor is in contact with a chemical substance, a potential difference can be generated between the part covered by the seal layer and the part which is not sealed, thereby carrying out quantitative and qualitative detection without adding a power supply.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nanometer chemical sensor and a preparation method, in particular to a nanometer chemical sensor based on semiconductor nanowires and capable of self-power supply and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, chemical sensors using semiconductor nanowires or carbon nanotubes as working units have attracted widespread attention due to their small size, high sensitivity, and low energy consumption. Many scientific research institutions and companies have carried out research in this area. The general working principle of this type of chemical sensor is that when a chemical substance contacts the surface of a semiconductor nanowire or carbon nanotube, electron transfer occurs between the chemical substance and the surface of the nanowire (tube) to form an electron-rich region or The cut-off region changes the resistance (conductivity) of the nanowire (tube) and causes a change in the electrical signal....
