The same kind of chemical coating used to shed rainwater from aircraft and automobile windows also dramatically enhances the sensitivity and reaction time of hydrogen sensors. Hydrogen sensor ...

While hydrogen gas is gaining attention as a clean energy source in various fields, there is now a way to safely detect it, even though it poses explosion risks at certain concentrations. A research ...

(Nanowerk News) Among the various types of hydrogen gas sensors, palladium-based resistor-type hydrogen sensors have been widely studied because of their simplicity, low cost, and adequate sensitivity ...

Little wing: the sensor is made from tiny hollow spheres that are deposited on the surface of a chip. The largest gap between spheres is about 2 microns in size. (Courtesy: RMIT University) Photonic ...

Even the faintest trace of hydrogen gas can spell trouble. In a chemical plant, it may auger a catastrophic industrial explosion; on a patient’s breath, it can signal various gastrointestinal problems ...

Osaka, Japan - A team at Osaka University has invented a new process for creating high-precision sensing devices that respond to the presence of hydrogen gas. By carefully controlling the deposition ...

Why is Hydrogen Gas Detection Important? The demand for energy will increase systematically in the next few decades, which can lead to greater utilization of non-renewable fossil fuels that are ...

Hydrogen is a clean and renewable energy carrier that can power vehicles, with water as the only emission. Unfortunately, hydrogen gas is highly flammable when mixed with air, so very efficient and ...

Recently, scientists have used their insights into nanomaterials to create bendy hydrogen sensors, which are at the heart of hydrogen fuel cells used in hydrogen vehicles. In recent years, Americans ...

Palladium is one of the keys to jump-starting a hydrogen-based energy economy. The silvery metal is a natural gatekeeper against every gas except hydrogen, which it readily lets through. For its ...
