Platinum Nanoparticle-Decorated ZnO Nanorods Improved the Performance of Methanol Gas Sensor
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the crystallinities, structures, and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) and platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs)-decorated ZnO nanorods (Pt/ZnO NRs) were investigated by an X-ray diffraction, a field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and a photoluminescence spectrometry. The Pt NPs-decorated ZnO NRs were prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering for 0 and 30 s. The ZnO and Pt/ZnO NR-based gas sensors are consistent, stable, and repeatable. The sensitivities of the ZnO and Pt/ZnO NR sensors were 1.34% and 121.03%, respectively, at a concentration of 1000 ppm methanol gas and at an operating temperature of 270 °C. The Pt NPs-decorated ZnO NRs exhibit enhanced sensor characteristics of methanol gas.
