A sigh-performance hydrogen gas sensor based on Ag/Pd nanoparticle-functionalized ZnO nanoplates.

As a source of clean energy, hydrogen (H) is a promising alternative to fossil fuels in reducing the carbon footprint. However, due to the highly explosive nature of H, developing a high-performance sensor for real-time detection of H gas at low concentration is essential. Here, we demonstrated the H gas sensing performance of Ag/Pd nanoparticle-functionalized ZnO nanoplates.

Room Temperature Ammonia Gas Sensor Based on p-Type-like VO Nanosheets towards Food Spoilage Monitoring.

Gas sensors play an important role in many areas of human life, including the monitoring of production processes, occupational safety, food quality assessment, and air pollution monitoring. Therefore, the need for gas sensors to monitor hazardous gases, such as ammonia, at low operating temperatures has become increasingly important in many fields. Sensitivity, selectivity, low cost, and ease of production are crucial characteristics for creating a capillary network of sensors for the protection of the environment and human health.
