Abstract:
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been widely discussed and applied as novel gas sensing nanomaterials. Hydrogen is one of the remarkable fault characteristic gases in high-voltage oil-paper insulated transformers. In this paper, 3.07 wt% Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were used to decorate SWCNTs. The unloaded, the carboxylated, and the Pd-doped SWCNTs were fabricated into three planar gas sensors, and their gas sensing properties to hydrogen were studied. Gas sensing mechanism was analyzed. Results show that the optimal operating temperature of a Pd-doped SWCNTs-based gas sensor is 125°C lower than that of the unloaded SWCNTs-based gas sensor, and it shows the highest gas sensing response value. This is attributed to the decreasing work function of Pd, which reduces the hole carries in the nanotubes.
