Investigation of the gas-sensing performance of CuO sensors functionalized with different stabilized Au nanoparticles by C. Maier, L. Egger, A. Köck, S. Becker, J. S. Niehaus, K. Reichmann

“…While the Au NPs clearly increase the sensor response, in particular for CO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> and HC<span class="inline-formula">_Mix</span>, we have figured out that the ligands have a significant impact on the sensor performance. In order to gain further insight into the influence of the different ligands on the sensing performance, the surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the composition was determined by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) measurement.…”
