Abstract

Hydrogen gas (H₂) has garnered significant attention as an alternative clean energy source, and its sensitive detection is essential to prevent explosions due to leakage in storage systems. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), which exhibits a large surface area-to-volume ratio from atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) structure, has attracted attention as a suitable H₂ sensing material. However, pristine MoS₂ exhibits low sensitivity to nonpolar H₂. This paper demonstrates a decoration method for platinum (Pt) catalysts on 2D MoS₂ using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and its application to fabricate highly sensitive H₂ sensors. Additionally, to induce homogeneous distribution of Pt nanoparticles on chemically inert MoS₂ surfaces, oxygen plasma pretreatment is employed as the MoS₂ surface functionalization method. Consequently, highly sensitive detection of H₂ with the sensitivity over 400 and the lower detection limit set to 2.5 ppm, is achieved using ALD Pt-decorated MoS₂, and a sensing mechanism is proposed.
