Method and system for flammable gas detection comprising a sonicated nanostructured metal oxide

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a nanostructured palladium-based flammable gas detector synthesized using sonochemistry. The nanostructured palladium-based flammable gas detectors may use nanostructured sensing materials to allow reduction of power consumption, where the nanostructures reduce power consumption due to their large specific area and increased porosity. The nanostructures may increase the number of active sensing sites, allowing the surface energy to be high enough for sensing reactions to occur without requiring significant external thermal energy,
