摘要: Protective-layer-coated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with palladium nanoparticle decoration (Pd–SiO2–SWNTs) were fabricated and their sensing properties for hydrogen (H2) investigated. SWNTs coated a 3–4 nm thick SiO2 layer by pulsed laser deposition subsequently decorated Pd nanoparticles electron beam evaporation. Even though the completely surrounded protective layer, Pd–SiO2–SWNTs responded to H2 down concentration of 1 part per million. Compared nanoparticle-decorated without (Pd–SWNTs), exhibited highly stable sensor responses variations less than 20%; Pd–SWNTs showed variation 80%. The density significantly decreased after test, while that netlike structure remained unchanged. mechanism was attributed chemical gating effect on due dipole formation atoms trapped at Pd–SiO2 interface. Moreover, relationship between response can be described Langmuir isotherm dissociative adsorption.
