Effects of MWCNTs/graphene nanoflakes/MXene addition to TiO2 thick film on hydrogen gas sensing

Various doping materials, such as MWCNTs, graphene nanoflakes and MXene, have been doped into TiO2 and the hydrogen sensing properties investigated. Using a similar volume, MWCNTs (5 wt.%) and graphene nanoflakes (5 wt.%) and MXene (10 wt.%) were added to TiO2 and prepared in a paste form by mixing...
