Since the functional sensing materials in resistive chemical sensors are practically the very same nanomaterials as the catalysts in heterogeneous chemistry, a plausible question arises: Is there any effect of the catalyst size on the sensor properties? Our study attempts to give an insight into the problem by analyzing the response and sensitivity of resistive H-2 sensors based on WO3 nanowire supported Pt nanoparticles having size of 1.5 +/- 0.4 nm, 6.2 +/- 0.8 nm, 3.7 +/- 0.5 nm and 8.3 +/- 1.3 nm. The results show that Pt nanoparticles of larger size are more active in H-2 sensing than their smaller counterparts and indicate that the detection mechanism is more complex than just considering the number of surface atoms of the catalyst. date: 2019 type: Folyóiratcikk type: PeerReviewed format: text identifier: http://publicatio.bibl.u-szeged.hu/14964/1/jnnn_mohl.pdf identifier: Mohl Melinda; Dombovari Áron; Szabó Mária; Järvinen Topias; Pitkanen Olli; Sápi András; Juhász Koppány Levente; Kéri Albert; Galbács Gábor; Kukovecz Ákos; Kónya Zoltán; Kordás Krisztián: Size-dependent H2 sensing over supported Pt nanoparticles.
