Abstract
Electronic modulation of Pt sites is of great significance in catalytic reaction involved chemical engineering process. Alkali metal doping is a promising strategy to modify the d orbit of Pt, which can effectively affect the reaction between material and adsorbates, however, the relationship is still unclear. Here, we have rationally designed Pt-modified Na-doped WO3 nanorods, and the electronic modulation of Pt can be finely modified by Na doping. The Pt-Na/WO3-Ar nanorods exhibit excellent H₂S sensing performance, with high response (Ra/Rg = 701 @ 1 ppm), low operating temperature (110 °C), and detection limit as low as 2.42 ppb. Experimental and theoretical results indicate that the introducing of Na effectively enhances the interaction between Pt nanoparticles (NPs) and WO3. Additionally, Na doping successfully modulate the d-band center of Pt, optimizing the adsorption and desorption processes during sensing. The synergistic effects of these components enable the Pt-Na/WO3-Ar sensor to exhibit outstanding H₂S sensing performance. Notably, the fabricated sensors are further used to monitor the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) of halitosis biomarkers, which holds significant application potential in environmental protection and medical diagnostics.
