Abstract
In this letter we report the enhanced sensing of platinum (Pt)-loaded tungsten oxide (WO3) sensor compared to pure WO3 sensor towards hydrogen (H2) gas at low operating temperature of 200 °C. The hydrogen sensing of pure and Pt-loaded WO3 sensors is reported at operating temperatures 200, 300 and 400 °C. The presence of Pt promotes the spillover mechanism and the dissociated H2 atoms can react with adsorbed/lattice oxygen atoms to release electrons which in turn increases the conductivity of the WO3 film. The H2 sensing mechanism of Pt-loaded WO3 sensor is investigated using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectrum of Pt-loaded sensing layer shows a shift of symmetric stretching band from 796 to 804 cm−1 with the introduction of H2 gas.
