Abstract:
Functionalized nanotube arrays, sensors, and related methods of detecting target compounds are presented. A functionalized nanotube array can include a plurality of metal oxide nanotubes. The metal oxide nanotubes 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 can be used in a sensor for detecting target compounds such as volatile organic compounds, and biomarkers in a fluid environment. The sensor can further include a power source configured to apply a voltage to the nanotube array and a current sensor configured to monitor and detect changes in a response current which varies upon binding with the target compounds.

Claim (Index 2):
The sensor of  claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide of the metal oxide nanotubes is selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, iron oxide, iridium oxide, tantalum oxide, zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, and combinations thereof.
