Bendy hydrogen sensors take shape
Materials scientists in the US have made the first flexible hydrogen sensors from single-walled carbon nanotubes topped with individual palladium (Pd) nanoparticles. The new sensors, which have excellent sensing and mechanical properties, will be useful in places where the devices need to be wrapped around a surface. Potential applications include use in portable electronic devices and vehicles driven by hydrogen fuel cells, and on spacecraft to detect hydrogen leaks.
