Pd-modified metal sulfide gas sensors exhibit excellent hydrogen (H 2 ) sensing activity through spillover effects. However, the emulative oxygen adsorption often occupies an exposed Pd surface and thus limits the effective Pd−H interaction, impeding the H 2 sensing performance in air. Herein, we develop an edge-rich Pt-shell/ Pd-core structure to adjust the selective adsorption between oxygen and hydrogen for effective H 2 sensing in an air atmosphere. Detailedly, through accurately regulating the rate of Pt deposition onto the icosahedron Pd surface, an edge-rich Pt-shell/Pd-core structure can be first achieved. It has been found that marginal Pt aggregations can segregate the oxygen molecules around the Pt species and induce easier Pt−O bonding, further guiding accessible Pd surfaces for effective Pd−H interactions, which can be verified by 1 H ssNMR, in-situ Raman, ex-situ XPS, and density functional theory analyses. The final ZnS/PdPt sensor exhibits an ultrasensitive response (8608 to 4% H 2 ) and a wide detected range (0.5 ppm-4%) in air, exceeding most reported hydrogen sensors.
