Abstract
Detecting hydrogen (H₂) at low concentrations (10–100 ppm) over extended periods requires a sensor with high stability and sensitivity. Palladium (Pd) is among the most commonly used materials for H₂ sensing due to its strong affinity for hydrogen. When exposed to H₂, Pd undergoes volumetric expansion proportional to the concentration of H₂ in the environment. Optical sensing technology is particularly suited for H₂ detection, offering a safer alternative to conventional electrical methods in potentially hazardous settings. This review examines the mechanism of palladium hydride (PdHx) formation, a key process in Pd-based H₂ sensing. It provides a comparative analysis of existing technologies for H₂ detection, with a focus on available contact point H₂ sensors, and highlights critical knowledge gaps that impact the performance of Pd-based H₂ optical sensors.
