Palladium nanoparticle-decorated multi-layer Ti₃C₂T _x dual-functioning as a highly sensitive hydrogen gas sensor and hydrogen storage.

ABSTRACT: In this work, palladium nanoparticle (PdNP)-decorated Ti₃C₂T _x MXene (Pd-Ti₃C₂T _x ) was synthesized by a simple two-step process. For this, multilayer Ti₃C₂T _x MXene (ML-Ti₃C₂T _x ) was first prepared by a selective HF etching technique, and PdNPs were directly grown on the surface of ML-Ti₃C₂T _x flakes using a polyol method. The relative weight fraction of PdNPs to ML-Ti₃C₂T _x was elaborately controlled to derive the optimal size and distribution of PdNPs, thereby to maximize its performance as a hydrogen sensor. The optimized Pd-Ti₃C₂
