| Research Abstract |
In order to develop hydrogen gas sensors with superior response characteristics, a new fabrication technique of nanopoprous oxides containing noble metal nanoparticles has been examined. Amorphous Ti-xCu (x=30-60at%) alloys containing a small amount of noble metals such as Au, Ag, Pd, Pt were used as a starting material and dealloying treatments were applied to form nanoporous Cu or Ti with bimodal structures consisting of ligaments and pores. The dealloying in HF solutions resulted in the formation of nanoporous Cu with bimodal structures enriched with noble metals. The addition of a few at% noble metals effectively reduced the size of pores to a few nm. The dealloying in HCl-HNO3 mixtures leaded to the production of a Ti enriched nanoporous Ti-Cu alloy covered with Ti oxide films.
