A surface passivated fluorinated polymer nanocomposite for carbon monoxide resistant plasmonic hydrogen sensing
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2024
Plasmonic hydrogen sensors are promising safety monitoring devices for the emerging hydrogen economy provided a fast response time and poisoning resistance can be achieved. Nanocomposites composed of palladium nanoparticles embedded in a polymer matrix facilitate rapid hydrogen diffusion if a fluorinated polymer is used, while a denser polymer such as atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) facilitates a high degree of gas selectivity. However, nanocomposites that combine a fast response with poisoning resistance have not yet been realized. Here, these two properties are achieved simultaneously by modifying the surface of a fluorinated polymer nanocomposite with a thin PMMA coating, which functions as a molecular sieve that effectively blocks carbon monoxide. The resulting surface passivated nanocomposite shows a high degree of poisoning resistance without compromising a fast sensing response of 2-3 seconds upon exposure to 100 mbar of hydrogen. The sensor signal and response are preserved over 55 cycles of synthetic air containing 5% hydrogen and 500 ppm of carbon monoxide, indicating that nanocomposites are a viable approach for the realization of robust hydrogen sensors.
