Thus, the rapid detection of low concentration methane is quite necessary. However, due to its robust chemical stability resulting from the strong tetrahedral-symmetry structure, the methane molecules are usually chemically inert to the sensing layers in detectors, making the rapid and efficient alert a big challenge. In this work, palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) embedded indium oxide porous hollow tubes (In2O3 PHTs) were successfully synthesized using Pd@MIL-68 (In) MOFs as precursors. All In2O3-based samples derived from Pd@MIL-68 (In) MOFs inherited the morphology of the precursors and exhibited the feature of hexagonal hollow tubes with porous architecture. The gas-sensing performances to 5000 ppm CH4 were evaluated and it was found that Pd@In2O3-2 gave the best response (Ra\/Rg = 23.2) at 370 \u00b0C, which was 15.5 times higher than that of pristine-In2O3 sensors. In addition, the sensing materials also showed superior selectivity against interfering gases and a rather short response\/recovery time of 7 s\/5 s. The enhancement in sensing performances of Pd@In2O3-2 could be attributed to the large surface area, rich porosity, abundant oxygen vacancies and the catalytic function of Pd NPs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23031163","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]],"date-time":"2023-01-19T07:57:38Z","timestamp":1674115058000},"page":"1163","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Imbedding Pd Nanoparticles into Porous In2O3 Structure for Enhanced Low-Concentration Methane Sensing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Xiaoyang","family":"Zuo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Zhengyi","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Aerospace Components Engineering Center, China Academy of Space Technology, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Zejun","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Jianxin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangwei","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Shuyan","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Simeng","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"given":"Jiurong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6538-3995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhou","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9834-9849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fenglong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Liquid-Solid Structural Evolution and Processing of Materials Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1007\/s00340-014-6001-0","article-title":"Remote ambient methane monitoring using fiber-optically coupled optical sensors","volume":"119","author":"Schoonbaert","year":"2015","journal-title":"Appl.
