Abstract
In this work, H2 sensing by graphene/Si Schottky diode with Pt functionalization has been demonstrated. Both p-and n-Si/graphene Schottky devices showed conductivity change in presence of H2 molecules in ambient conditions at room temperature. Successful detection of 10 ppm H2 in air has been demonstrated. Performance enhancement compared to the Pt-functionalized just graphene based sensor is validated by the response obtained from both device types fabricated on the same chip. Seven fold increase in sensitivity in H2 sensing has been obtained for graphene/Si devices compared to the simple graphene sensor in ambient condition.
