Two special properties of Pt coated WO3 (Pt-WO3) nanowire film for sensing hydrogen gas flow in air are reported in this paper, including the large relative resistance change (close to 100%) and the dependence of the millisecond-scale response time on operating temperature. A variable-temperature Raman spectroscopic system is applied to record the structural changes of WO3 nanowires in situ during the input of H2 gas at different operating temperatures. Furthermore, based on the experimental results, two combined models are proposed to be responsible for the hydrogen sensing mechanism in Pt-WO3 nanowire film.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
