H2 sensing performance of novel Pd–Pt alloy films has been compared with those obtained by using Pd films and H2-reducted PdO films. Two different detecting systems were used to measure the hydrogenation and de-hydrogenation phases with a H2 concentration of both 5% v/v nitrogen and 1% v/v nitrogen at room temperature. The sensitivity loss observed for the Pd–Pt alloy and H2-reducted PdO samples with respect to pure Pd samples can be explained in terms of the reduction in the lattice constant and interstitial volume due to the Pt addition, which determine a decrement of hydrogen atoms penetrating in the films. On the other hand, results show an improvement in time -response for Pd–Pt alloy and H2-reducted PdO films with respect to pure Pd ones, presumably due to the increase of its permeability to H2. Moreover, the sensing measurements repeated after 60 days show that the Pd–Pt alloy films, unlike the Pd-based ones, fully preserve their performances, demonstrating the advantage of the Pt inclusion for stability purposes when the samples are stored upon humidity.

Commonly, the synthesis of ZnO nanowires involves the use of metal catalyst via a non-direct step growth which contribute to the contamination on the final product. Thus, in this work we synthesized catalyst-free ZnO nanowires using a direct or single step growth of nanowires. Thermal evaporation method is used to synthesize ZnO nanowires on bare glass substrates with different distances between Zn powder and the substrates; on-top (1.2 cm), 16 cm and 18 cm. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy images showed a vertically well-aligned with high density of ZnO nanowires were successfully synthesized via self-seeding process and the longest nanowires were produced at the shortest distance. Energy Dispersive X-ray and X-Ray Diffraction analyses confirmed that high purity of ZnO nanowires were obtained and ZnO (002) strongest and sharp peak was observed, indicating preferentially grown ZnO nanowires along the c-axis perpendicular to the substrates and leading towards single crystal structure. Four peaks were observed in visible range from Photoluminescence spectra (PL) which related to fundamental defects with the highest peak at 3.04 eV. The on-top sample with distance 1.2 cm from Zn powder has the lowest transmittance due to the high thickness of ZnO nanowires. The range of energy band gap for ZnO nanowires obtained from the extrapolation graph is in agreement with PL highest peak approximately 3.00 eV. Therefore, this direct or single step deposition method is of great interest since it has successfully produced ZnO nanowires with significant characteristics without employing the non-direct step growth.
