Abstract in another language
Hydrogen gas plays a crucial role in various applications, such as renewable energy storage, fuel cells, space systems, and manufacturing processes. Its detection relies on specialized hydrogen sensors, as even a 4% hydrogen concentration in air can lead to an explosion. The work comprises two parts: the theoretical and practical section. In the theoretical part, the focus is on discussing analytical methods for hydrogen detection, including gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry or thermal conductivity detectors. Various sensor concepts are explored, such as catalytic sensors, resistance-based sensors, and electrochemical sensors. These concepts form the basis for the practical part of the work, where a proof of concept is presented. The sensor is constructed using the same materials and structure as previous works but with a different combination of manufacturing techniques. Specifically, the Au/Pt-IDE hydrogen sensors are fabricated using techniques like screen printing, thermal evaporation, and laser-patterning. The practical part aims to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of the new manufacturing approach for hydrogen sensors. The findings reveal that several sensors exhibited desirable qualities, demonstrating their suitability for practical applications.
