Abstract
In this paper, we report the sensing performance of H2 gas sensors composed of Pd/carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper at room temperature. The CNT buckypaper was made using a simple filtration process and subsequently deposited with Pd as the sensing material. The sensitivity of the sensor increased with respect to the gas concentration. To investigate the effect of Pd thickness, Pd layers of different thickness were deposited on the buckypaper, and the response of the sensor was evaluated. The proposed sensor exhibits excellent sensing properties with optimized Pd thickness at room temperature (25℃). Pd nanoparticles significantly impact the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor because of the spillover effect. In addition, the sensor is highly suitable for bendable and wearable devices owing to its structural flexibility.
