研究目的
Investigating the development of an ultrasensitive and ultraselective hydrogen sensor based on defect-dominated electron scattering in Pt nanowire arrays.
研究成果
The study successfully fabricated an ultrasensitive and ultraselective hydrogen sensor based on defect-dominated electron scattering in Pt nanowires. The sensor demonstrated excellent sensing ability across a wide H2 concentration range (from 10 ppb to 100%), with enhanced response after exposure to high H2 concentrations. The defect-dominated sensing mechanism, supported by negligible responses to CO and H2O, offers a promising strategy for designing hydrogen sensors with superior sensitivity and selectivity.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the costly FIB technique for Pt NW deposition but suggests potential for mass production of defected-Pt nanomaterials through other methods like heavy-ion irradiation. The sensor's performance is influenced by environmental humidity, requiring calibration for accurate H2 detection.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the fabrication of ultrathin Pt nanowires with abundant defects using focused ion beam (FIB) for hydrogen detection. The methodology is based on defect-dominated electron scattering rather than surface-dominated scattering.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Pt nanowires with lateral dimensions of 100 nm (width) × 3.5 nm (height) were deposited across Au gaps on SiO2/Si substrates.
