Abstract

Two special properties of Pt coated WO3 (Pt-WO3) nanowire film for sensing hydrogen gas flow in air are reported in this paper, including the large relative resistance change (close to 100%) and the dependence of the millisecond-scale response time on operating temperature. A variable-temperature Raman spectroscopic system is applied to record the structural changes of WO3 nanowires in situ during the input of H2 gas at different operating temperatures. Furthermore, based on the experimental results, two combined models are proposed to be responsible for the hydrogen sensing mechanism in Pt-WO3 nanowire film.
