Series and parallel connection of individual Pd-modified ZnO nanowires for gas sensing applications

The hydrogen gas sensing properties of nanodevices based on two ZnO nanowires (NWs) functionalized/modified with palladium (Pd/ZnO) at room temperature are studied. The main goal of the study is to find which of the connections—in series or in parallel—is more favorable to improve the properties of...
