Abstract:
We reported a fine H2 sensor based on single Pd microwires (SPMs) by femtosecond-laser-induced deposition of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs), which exhibits excellent H2 sensing performance. The PdNPs with good dispersion were prepared by ultrasonic assisted one-step solution synthesis. The sensor has a wide detection range of 0.001-4.0% H2 sensing at room temperature. With the increase of the H2 concentration, the SPM sensor presents two sensing mechanisms, the formation of PdH and hydrogen induced lattice expansion regulating the conductivity of SPMs. This fine hydrogen sensor is promising to be applied to human health monitoring, environmental air detection and other integrated intelligent devices.
