With the rapid development of modern digital technology, micro-supercapacitors show tremendous potential to complement or replace conventional electrolytic capacitors and batteries due to their small dimension, high power density, high electrochemical efficiency and long cyclic life. In particular, porous silicon nanowires (PSiNWs) and their derivatives have attracted great attention owing to their high surface areas and ease of integration with the microfabrication methodology. In this project, we are developing a novel metal oxide-coated carbonized PSiNWs electrodes for micro-...

BPN977: Metal-Loaded Metal Oxide Nanocomposites for Electronic Gas Sensors

Semiconducting metal oxides (MOX) such as SnO2 are an industry-standard material for chemiresistive sensing. However, many MOX-based gas sensors suffer from poor sensitivity, limited selectivity—particularly in the presence of water vapor—and insufficient stability. To address these shortcomings, catalytically active noble metals, such as Pd, are loaded onto the MOX materials to form noble metal-loaded MOX nanocomposites. In this work, we focus on Pd-loaded SnO2 (Pd/SnO2) due to their promising sensitivity to and selectivity for CO and CH4. Pd/SnO2 nanocomposites with varying Pd/Sn...
