A microwave hydrogen sensor has been proposed in this study for detecting hydrogen leakage, and its performance has been investigated using analytical modeling and numerical analysis tools. The results show that a wide range of sensitivity levels can be achieved with optimal geometrical parameters of the sensor structure, providing a potential solution for future uses.
As the surge for renewable and clean energy resources increases, new challenges emerge. One of the challenges related to the use of hydrogen as a clean energy source is safety. In this study, a microwave hydrogen sensor has been presented for detection of hydrogen leakage. An analytical model is developed and the performance of the sensor is investigated using numerical analysis tools. It has been shown that with optimal geometrical parameters of the sensor structure, a wide range of sensitivity levels depending on a wide range of Q-factor can be achieved. Utilizing a palladium disk with a radius of 750 mu m can detect hydrogen with a sensitivity as high as 30 MHz per % hydrogen when g = 10 mu m. Average error between analytical model and numerical results is 0.23%. With reference to this work, it is believed that more compact and sensitive microwave hydrogen sensors will be produced for future uses.
