Nanoscale ‘HOT’ Communication
Roya Maboudian and co-workers have developed an easy and versatile way to decorate graphene with metal nanoparticles via electroless deposition.
This method has been used in the fabrication of a gas sensor which, although not optimised, has successfully detected hydrogen sulfide.
The authors believe that their decoration process could be used with existing roll-to-roll fabrication methods for the mass production of sensors.
