Assembly of Pt nanoparticles on electrospun In2O3 nanofibers for H2S detection.
In this paper, we presented a simple and effective solution route to deposit Pt nanoparticles on electrospun In2O3 nanofibers for H2S gas detection. The morphology and chemical structure of the as-prepared samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The results showed that large quantities of In2O3 nanofibers with diameters about from 60 to 100 nm were obtained and the surface of them was decorated with Pt nanoparticles (5-10 nm in size). The In2O3 nanofibers decorated by Pt nanoparticles exhibited excellent gas sensing properties to H2S, such as high sensitivity, good selectivity and fast response at relatively low temperature.
