Herein, H<sub>2</sub> sensing that can work at ≈190–388 K temperature range has been developed by integrating palladium and zinc nanowires enwrapped with nanosheets (PdZn NWs) as the sensing materials, which have been prepared via combined anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template-confined electrodeposition and surface engineering. Typically, as-synthesized PdZn NWs with a diameter of ≈50 nm present rough surfaces, along which abundant pores and fractures have been observed. Beneficially, the PdZn NWs show a lower critical temperature (≈190 K) of the “reverse sensing behavior” than that of pure Pd NWs (287 K), indicating the PdZn NWs are able to work at ≈190–388 K temperature range. Theoretically, such stable H<sub>2</sub> sensing can be attributed to the rough surfaces and chemical composition of PdZn NWs, which facilitates H atoms diffusion and accommodates the expansion of PdHx intermediates. The surface engineering of PdZn NWs may contribute to stable H<sub>2</sub> sensing at low temperatures, which can be applied to other gas-sensing materials working at low temperatures.</p>","PeriodicalId":100037,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Sensor Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adsr.202400011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores core@satellite magneto-plasmonic particles (CSMPs), featuring magnetic nanoparticle clusters and numerous satellite-like AuNPs, to amplify the optical response on a nanostructured gold surface. Using a sandwich scheme, target analytes are detected as hybrid nanoparticles bind to the pre-immobilized target on the AuNPs surface, inducing changes in the immunosensor's extinction spectrum. Application of an external magnetic field notably enhances biosensor response and sensitivity, reducing assay time from hours to minutes.

It consists of a vertical array of 16 pixels, each comprising a voltage divider of a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) element and a shunt resistor. The self‐regulating PTC elements are heated with constant voltage. Heat flow out of the PTCs dictate their resistances and enables inference about their thermal surrounding. Water in a polypropylene container changes voltage levels by (33 ± 2) % compared to air. Applications with a glass container and household oil instead of water are also successfully tested. Both liquids yield a distinctive difference in signal and the sensor determines the height of the oil/water interface as well as the surfaces of the liquid. To further demonstrate the capabilities of the sensor, segregation of a water‐oil mixture, slowed by a mixing agent, is observed in real time.
