        abstract = {Vanadium dioxide-carbon nanotube (VO 2 -CNT) nanocomposite materials were produced via a continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis (CHFS) method. The composites were made in a single step from CHFS using dispersions of commercially available single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a metal salt solution (aq.). The room temperature gas sensing characteristics of the VO 2 -CNT nanocomposites were investigated and compared with sensors of CHFS-made VO 2 without added carbon. The VO 2 -CNT nanocomposites were found to display high sensitivity to H 2 O vapour, showing excellent potential as humidity sensors. Furthermore, p-type responses to ammonia gas were observed, with the VO 2 (no carbon) sensors showing the largest response. Overall, surface composition and microstructure were found to greatly influence sensor responses to H 2 O vapour and NH 3 gas.},
