We present a thermochemical hydrogen (TCH) gas sensor fabricated with Pt-decorated exfoliated graphene sheets and a tellurium nanowire-based thermoelectric (TNTE) layer operating at room temperature in wet air. The sensor device was able to detect 50 ppm to 3% of hydrogen gas within several seconds (response/recovery times of 6/5.1 s at 4000 ppm of hydrogen gas) at room temperature due to the relatively high surface area of homogeneously dispersed Pt nanocrystals (∼8 nm) decorated on graphene sheets and the excellent Seebeck coefficient (428 μV/K) of the TNTE layer. Furthermore, it was observed that the effect of the relative humidity on sensing properties was greatly minimized by incorporating Pt-decorated graphene sheets. These results indicate that our device has great potential as a low power consumption gas sensor for IoTs.
