Abstract
In this study, WSe2, Ag2Se, and WSe2/Ag2Se nanostructured electrodes were synthesized via an electrochemical deposition method, and their hydrogen gas sensing performances were systematically investigated. The synergistic interaction between WSe2 nanosheets and Ag2Se nanoparticles significantly enhanced charge transport and catalytic activity in the hybrid electrode. Compared to the pristine WSe2 and Ag2Se electrodes, the hybrid electrode exhibited a remarkably higher current response of 7.89 mA cm–2 at 5000 ppm of H2 and demonstrated stable and reversible sensing behavior over a wide range of hydrogen concentrations (1000–5000 ppm). Analyses of SEM, Raman, and UV–Vis data revealed an increased surface area and improved electronic coupling within the hybrid structure. Furthermore, EIS and OCP measurements confirmed accelerated interfacial charge transfer and superior electrochemical…
