Abstract

In this paper, we present gas sensing properties of Pt/graphene-like nano-sheets towards hydrogen gas. The graphene-like nano-sheets were produced via the reduction of spray-coated graphite oxide deposited on SiC substrates by hydrazine vapor. Structural and morphological characterizations of the graphene sheets were analyzed by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. Current-voltage and dynamic responses of the sensors were investigated towards different concentrations of hydrogen gas in a synthetic air mixture at 100Â°C. A voltage shift of 100 mV was recorded at 1 mA reverse bias current.
