The world’s fastest hydrogen sensor, is being claimed by Chalmers University in Sweden, which can detect 0.1% hydrogen in air in less than a second. It consists of millions of palladium-gold alloy nano-particles – a material which is known for its sponge-like ability to absorb large amounts of hydrogen. The plasmon phenomenon then causes the sensor ...
