Grain structure regulation: A novel approach to enhance the sensitivity and baseline stability of palladium thin film resistive hydrogen sensors
Achieving high sensitivity and resistance baseline stability in palladium thin film resistive hydrogen sensors is essential for the accurate detection of low-concentration hydrogen. This study proposes a method based on grain structure regulation to enhance the sensitivity and baseline stability of Pd thin film resistive hydrogen sensors. The results show that adjusting the grain structure of the Pd film to zone Ⅱ with smaller grain size significantly improves the sensitivity and baseline stability of the Pd resistive hydrogen sensors. Compared to zone T structure, the sensitivity of the sensor with zone Ⅱ structure is increased by more than 50 %, and the resistance baseline drift is reduced to below 0.01 %, enabling the sensor to produce a distinct response to hydrogen lower than 15 μL/L. The methodology proposed in this work provides a novel approach for further improvement of the detection capability for Pd-based resistive hydrogen sensors to low-concentration hydrogen gas.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
