▎ 摘  要

Herein, we report the fabrication of hydrogen gas sensors based on noble nanometal decorated one dimensional multi walled carbon nanotubes and two dimensional graphene by a simple drop casting technique, with practical applications in view. Pt decorated functionalized graphene sheets (Pt/f-G) and Pt decorated functionalized rnulti walled carbon nanotubes (Pt/f-MWNT) were synthesized and employed as hydrogen sensors. Systematic investigation of hydrogen sensing, at a low detection level of 4 vol% hydrogen in air, of (Pt/f-G) reveals a response time comparable to that of (Pt/f-MWNT) but with a two fold increase in the sensitivity at room temperature. These sensors were also found to be stable over repeated cycles of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation.
