Silicon Oxycarbonitride (Si OCN ) functionalization is proposed for stable, reproducible, reliable, and enhanced gas‐sensing properties in carbon nanotube ( CNT ) gas sensors. The process is very simple: liquid precursor completely coats the surfaces of the CNT s without requiring any surface modification and a thin layer of semiconductor ceramic Si OCN is created on the CNT s after heat treatment. This new kind of conductometric gas sensors can detect 10 ppm NH 3 and 2 ppm NO 2 at temperatures up to 350°C. The stability of the functionalized CNT sensor is verified up to 520°C, while the CNT sensor without the Si OCN coating lost conductance after 250°C due to the structural modification. SiOCN functionalization of CNT changes the recovery from irreversible to reversible and the recovery time decreases from 60 min at 100°C to 19 min at 350°C.
