Platinum-Functionalized Hierarchically Structured Flower-like Nickel Ferrite Sheets for High-Performance Acetone Sensing by Ziwen Yang, Zhen Sun, Yuhao Su, Caixuan Sun, Peishuo Wang, Shaobin Yang, Xueli Yang, Guofeng Pan

“…At 1.5% Pt mass fraction, the sensor shows a high acetone response (R_g/R_a = 58.33 at 100 ppm), a 100 ppb detection limit, fast response/recovery times (7/245 s at 100 ppm), and excellent selectivity. The enhancement in performance originates from the synergistic effect of the structure and Pt loading: the layered flower-like morphology facilitates gas diffusion and charge transport, while Pt nanoparticles serve as active sites to lower the activation energy of acetone redox reactions. …”
