Preparation and effective detection to H2S of PdO/ZnO/ZnS based sensor at low working temperature

To achieve rapid detection of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) gas at lower temperatures, We present a high-performance PdO/ZnO/ZnS-based H 2 S gas sensor, which was synthesized using a hydrothermal synthesis method in conjunction with an in situ sulfuration process and surface modification by PdO. Vacuum sintering to prevent high temperature oxidation of ZnS. The introduction of PdO not only makes the sheet ZnO/ZnS turn to spherical-like, but also increased the content of adsorbed oxygen. Compared with ZnO/ZnS sample, the PdO/ZnO/ZnS based sensor exhibited a higher response value of 212.4 to 10 ppm H 2 S at lower temperature of 100 °C, with response and recovery times of 2.9 and 1.7 min, respectively. In addition, excellent performance is demonstrated in terms of gas selectivity , repeatability and long-term stability during testing.
