OP-3-5HIGHLY SENSITIVE HYDROGEN GAS SENSORS SEMICONDUCTINGNANO WIRES GRAFTED WITH Pd NANOPARTICLESSeonghwa Ju 1 , Jun Min Lee 2 , Ha-Yeong 1 , Eunsongyi Lee 2 , Ji-eun Park 1 ,Wooyoung Lee 2 , Sung-Jin Kim 11 Department <strong>of</strong> Chemistry and Nano Science, Ewha Womans University,11-1 Daehyun-Dong, Seodaemun-Gu, Seoul 120-750, Korea, sjkim@ewha.ac.kr2 Department <strong>of</strong> Materials Science and Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749We have investigated the hydrogen gas sensing performance <strong>of</strong> Pd nanoparticlegrafted single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and tin dioxide NWs. TheSWCNTs were modified with dendrimers and then Pd nanoparticles were grafted onthe dendrimers. The SWCNTs grafted with Pd nanoparticles resulted in highresponse (25%), a fast response time (7 sec) at 10,000 ppm hydrogen gas, and anultra-low concentration H 2 detection <strong>of</strong> 10 ppm in room temperature. Also, we havesuccessfully investigated hydrogen gas (H 2 ) sensors Pd nanoparticle-decorated tindioxide NWs. The SnO 2 network sensors were found to show ultra-high sensitivity(~ 1.2 × 10 5 %) and a fast response time (~ 2 s) upon exposure to 10,000 ppm H 2 atroom temperature. The hydrogen sensing mechanism in the SnO 2 network sensorshowing «ON–OFF switching» is mainly based on changes in the electricalconductance as the H atoms dissociated from H 2 due to the catalytic activity <strong>of</strong> PdNPs and «spill-over» effect with oxygen ions at the surface <strong>of</strong> SnO 2 . Further detailsrelated to the mechanisms <strong>of</strong> the SnO 2 network sensors will be discussed in thepresentation. This fabrication method using Pd nanoparticles as a catalyst for H 2molecules allows the production <strong>of</strong> highly-sensitive H 2 sensors that exhibit a broaddynamic detection range, a fast response time, and an ultra-low detection limit.References:[1].
