A direct, non-invasive thermometry method based on the temperature dependence of the in-plane electrical resistance of Pt nanofilms deposited on commercial n-Si (111) substrates was developed in order to study the water formation reaction. At the calibration stage, the entire sample was slowly heated by external means. Experiments were carried out for hydrogen−oxygen mixtures in different molar ratios and pressures in the range of 2−30 mbar. To ignite the hydrogen−oxygen mixtures the Pt nanofilm was directly heated up to 500 ∘C by passing an electric current through it. Both, surface-catalyzed heterogeneous and homogeneous gas-phase reactions were identified. During the reaction process the resistance of the Pt nanofilm was monitored. The temperature of the Pt nanofilm was calculated using the Callendar−Van Dusen equation which describes the relationship between the temperature and the resistance of Pt thermometers. The accuracy of the present method for dynamical temperature measurement is found to be significantly better than that of a standard approach using a Pt RTD sensor. The validity of this method for Pt nanofilms on silicon is discussed.
