Introduction
At current trends, combination of metal oxide and novel materials
such as ZnO-CNT, ZnO-Graphene important headlines in the research
areas particularly in the ield of nano science and technology usually
have enhanced properties. Because, to meet the society in the world
with commercial approach, the materials, particularly novel materials
having the unique fundamental properties such as durability, high
energy density, conductivity, light weight, cost-efective, high-
eiciency, chemical and thermal stability and environment friendly
[1-3]. In and around the world the present research activities on nano
structured ZnO-CNT and its alloy application for the gas sensitivity
and antibacterialism is enhanced. Gas sensor and antibacterial study
mainly focus adsorbed species or free radicals or ROS (reactive oxygen
species) O

) and size and shape of the
particles means reducing grain size and increase surface to volume
ratio eiciency and porous nano structure. he modiied decorated
CNT tube with metal oxide nano particles gives high sensitivity, high
S/V ratio and fast response. Generally Chemisorbed oxygen diminishes
the electrical conductivity by taking an electron from the conduction
band of the material. It releases electrons back to the semiconductor
and leads to increase on the conductivity of the sensor. Further, as
for as ZnO nano particles concern by its application , its electrical
conductivity and optical property and delivering of super oxide ions can
be tuned by adding with single walled or multi walled One-dimensional
aligned CNTs or two-dimensional randomly oriented CNT or three-
dimensional randomly aggregated bulk CNT [4-6]. In that working
principle, the rate of change in resistance on the surface per unit zone
due to interaction between the active sites and tested gas species. On
detection of toxic gases, active sites for redox processes and delivering
free charges as carriers that increases the electrical conductivity of the
ZnO/CNT nano composites. To improve the gas sensing capacity the
material should be in various dimensions such that 2 dimensional
nano plane or sheet and nano belt such as graphene, 1 dimensional
nano ibrers, nano tube and nao wire o dimensional nano particles. In
recent years, there are much interest in researching and producing new
antimicrobial agents from various sources to struggle with microbial
resistivity. So a greater attention has been enforced to antimicrobial
activity particularly against to Clostridium , genus of Gram-positive
bacteria, includes numerous important human pathogens which
obligate anaerobes can able to producing endospores. Normally, when
the recommended human drug is absorbed pinpointed towards the
afected zone where conined to a tiny area of the inner organ and is
recovered ater therapy using a suitable external applied magnetic ield
where over antibiotic treatment using antibiotics drugs will be bad factor
for the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Anti-biotic resistance
increases for over dose but for suicient dose antibiotic resistance will
be decreases [7,8]. In the present work, ZnO-CNT nano composite at
diferent annealing temperatures were prepared by cost-efective SCP
(Spray-Copper plate) technique and succeeding calcination and their
gas sensing performance as well as anti-microbial studies performance
were investigated. he nano structure and surface morphological
properties based on entitled nano powder were analysed by XRD,
FESEM, TEM, EDAX, SAED, UV and antibacterial well difused
method respectively. It was clear that the ZnO-CNT nano composite
exhibited good methanol sensing properties also having good anti-
bacterial agent for both gram positive and gram negative bacteria
[9,10]. Furthermore the formation mechanism of methanol adsorption
and desorption and then anti-bacterial inhibition by releasing super
oxide ions releasing mechanism was also discussed.

Abstract
The nano composite Sn doped ZnO-CNT having peculiar property in various physical science ields has been
synthesized using simpliied cost-effective spray pyrolysis method which forms the nano powder unusually. The
work has been bringing to the fundamental study such as XRD and SEM with EDAX using sophisticated instrument
to conirm expected elements present with strong bond by evaluating and serious care on diffraction peaks which
becomes sharper, surface morphology and energy dispersive amplitude. All crystal phases are anatase formation
and no characteristic peaks of Cu metal or oxide at 2θ values which matches with JCPDS 36-1451 corresponding
to ZnO and JCPDS 26-1079 corresponding to MWCNT.TEM and SAED investigated the entitled compound that
particles size, shape and presence of oxygen under ZnO and CNT remand, 2% of Sn was doped with this source
solution.
