Recent Developments in Sensor Technologies for Enabling the Hydrogen Economy

Abstract

Efforts to create a sustainable hydrogen economy are gaining momentum as governments all over the world are investing in hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and delivery technologies to develop a hydrogen infrastructure. This involves transporting hydrogen in gaseous or liquid form or using carrier gases such as methane, ammonia, or mixtures of methane and hydrogen. Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas and can easily leak into the atmosphere leading to economic loss and safety concerns. Therefore, deployment of robust low-cost sensors for various scenarios involving hydrogen is of paramount importance. Here, we review some recent developments in hydrogen sensors for applications such as leak detection, safety, and process monitoring in production, transport, and use scenarios. The status of methane and ammonia sensors is covered due to their important role in hydrogen production and transportation using existing natural gas and ammonia infrastructure. This review further provides an overview of existing commercial hydrogen sensors and also addresses the potential for hydrogen as an interferent gas for currently used sensors. This review can help developers and users make informed decisions about how to drive hydrogen sensor technology forward and to incorporate hydrogen sensors into the various hydrogen deployment projects in the coming decade.

Enhanced Potentiometric Hydrogen Sensing Response Based on the Ba0.5Sr0.5Co1–yFeyO3–δ Electrode with Unusual Polarity

“…Highly sensitive detection of hydrogen is essential to ensure the safety of hydrogen use, production, storage, and transportation. − Among many hydrogen techniques, potentiometric hydrogen sensors have attracted tremendous attention due to their simple structure, small size, robustness, and high-temperature resistance. , This type of sensor generally consists of a sensing electrode (SE), a reference electrode (RE), and a solid electrolyte. The sensor response is the difference between responses of the SE and RE .…”
