Crystal boundaries help hydrogen sensors work in hot, humid air
Hydrogen could play an important role in cleaner energy systems, but even small leaks can create safety risks. Reliable sensors are therefore essential wherever hydrogen is produced, stored, transported or used. A persistent problem is humidity: water molecules can cover the active surfaces of hydro...

Hydrogen could play an important role in cleaner energy systems, but even small leaks can create safety risks. Reliable sensors are therefore essential wherever hydrogen is produced, stored, transported or used. A persistent problem is humidity: water molecules can cover the active surfaces of hydrogen detectors and prevent them from responding accurately, particularly in hot, moisture-rich environments.
