Ultrathin platinum nanowires obtained from wet-synthesis with no strong binding ligands exhibit very high sensitivity toward hydrogen gas (two orders of magnitude increase compared with state-of-the-art devices). Their chemical sensitivity, selectivity, and other sensing characteristics can be rationally tailored through further surface engineering. A significantly reduced cross-sensitivity toward humidity is achieved, while the hydrogen sensitivity is preserved or even enhanced.
由湿化学法制备得到的超薄铂纳米线,在没有强结合配体的情况下,对氢气表现出极高的灵敏度(与最先进的设备相比,灵敏度提高了两个数量级)。通过进一步的表面工程,可以合理地调整它们的化学灵敏度、选择性和其他传感特性。实现了对湿度的交叉灵敏度的显著降低,同时保持甚至增强了对氢气的灵敏度。
