Abstract
Networked ZnO nanowires were fabricated via a vapor-phase selective growth method. Pt nanoparticles were functionalized on the networked ZnO nanowires. In this study, for the functioanlization, γ-ray radiolysis was applied. By the method, Pt nanoparticles of ∼10 nm in diameter were uniformly anchored on the surface of each ZnO nanowire. The sensing properties of the Pt-functionalized, networked ZnO nanowires were investigated in terms of NO2, CO and benzene at 100°C. The sensing capability of the Pt-functionalized ZnO nanowires at that temperature supports their potential use in chemical gas sensors.
