Gas Sensors: Platinum Nanoparticle Loading of Boron Nitride Aerogel and Its Use as a Novel Material for Low‐Power Catalytic Gas Sensing (Adv. Funct. Mater. 3/2016)

R. Maboudian and co-workers demonstrate, on page 433, an ultra-high surface area boron nitride aerogel acting as a scaffold for catalytic platinum nanoparticles. Use of this material integrated onto a microheater platform leads to a fast, sensitive, and stable low-power catalytic gas sensor, opening up possibilities for wireless monitoring of combustible gases.
