Abstract

In this work we present data on investigation of the current-voltage and capacitance characteristics of Au/PS Schottky type structures in the presence of different hydrogen-containing solutions (glucose, ethanol, methanol, boric acid, sodium tetraborate pentahydrate, sodium borohydride, benzine, KOH). Generation of the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current density and capacitance up to 0.55 V, 25 mA/cm2 and 1μF respectively on placing of Au/PS structures in these solutions was discovered. This effect is mainly caused by hydrogen component of solutions. The possible mechanism generation of voltage and capacitance in metal/PS sensors hydrogen-containing solutions is suggested. The advantage of metal/PS Schottky type sensors consists in working without applying external electricity.
