A single step fabrication process of carbon nanotube/Prussian Blue (CNT/PB) paste electrodes based on screen printing technology has been studied as an amperometric sensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide and free chlorine. Compared to the classical carbon paste (CP) electrode, the CNT paste electrode greatly enhanced the response in the presence of hydrogen peroxide due to the electrocatalytic activity of the CNT. Based on the CNT/binder paste, PB was also incorporated into a network of CNT paste and characterized. The best electroanalytical properties of PB-mixed sensors to hydrogen peroxide were obtained with PB ratio of 10 wt % composition, which showed fast response time ($t_{90}{\leq}5$ s; 0.2 - 0.3 mM), low detection limit of 1.0 ${\mu}M$, good linear response in the range from $5.0{\times}10^{-5}$ - $1.0{\times}10^{-3}$ mol $L^{-1}$ ($r^2$ = 0.9998), and high sensitivity of -8.21 ${\mu}AmM^{-1}$. In order to confirm the enhanced electrochemical properties of CNT/PB electrode, the sensor was further applied for the determination of chlorine in water, which exhibited a linear response behavior in the range of 50 - 2000 ppb for chlorine with a slope of 1.10 ${\mu}Appm^{-1}$ ($r^2$ = 9971).

The purpose of study is obtaining low-emission and high-efficiency in LPi engine with hydrogen enrichment. The test engine was named variable compression ratio single cylinder engine (VACRE). The fuel supply system provides LPG/hydrogen mixtures based on same heating value. A varied sensors such as crank shaft position sensor (CPS) and hall sensor supplies spark timing data to ignition controller. Displacement of VACRE is $1858.2cm^3$. VACRE was runned 1400rpm with compression ratio 8. Spark timing was set MBT without knocking. Relative air-fuel ratio($\lambda$) of this work was varied between 0,8 and 1.5.

We have fabricated the Pd-blck/NiCr gate MISFET-type $H_2$ sensor to detect the hydrogen in atmosphere. A differential pair-type structure was used to minimize the intrinsic voltage drift of the MISFET. The Pd-black film was deposited in the argon environment by thermal evaporation. In order to eliminate the blister formation in the surface of the hydrogen sensing gate metal, Pd-black/NiCr double metal layer was deposited on the gate insulator. The scanning electron microscopy and the auger electron spectroscopy was used to analyze their surface morphology and basic structure. The Pd-black/NiCr gate MISFET has been shown high sensitivity and stability more than Pd-planar/NiCr gate MISFET.

In this study, a nanocomposite of multi-walled carbon nanotubes@poly(p-phenylenediamine)-Prussian blue (MWCNTs@PpPD-PB) was synthesized and employed for the electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). A straightforward approach was utilized to prepare an electrochemical H₂O₂ sensor using a MWCNTs@PpPD-PB modified glassy carbon electrode, and its electrochemical behavior was investigated through techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and amperometry. The modified electrode displayed a favorable electrocatalytic response towards the reduction of H₂O₂ in an acidic solution. The developed sensor exhibited linearity in the concentration range of 0.005 mM to 2.225 mM for H₂O₂, with high sensitivity (583.6 ㎂ mM^-1cm^-2) and a low detection limit (0.95 ㎛, S/N = 3) at an applied potential of +0.15 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Additionally, the sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. Moreover, successful detection of H₂O₂ was achieved in real samples.

에너지 고갈 문제에 대한 대처 방안으로 수소에너지는 직간접적인 긍정적 효과를 가져온 반면, 사용시 안정성이 매우 중요한 사항이기 때문에 수소가스에 대한 정확하고 빠른 감지를 가능하게 하는 센서 기술이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 AlGaN/GaN 이종접합 반도체 플렛폼을 활용하여 Pd 촉매 기반의 수소센서를 개발하였으며 감도를 높이기 위하여 식각 구조를 도입하였다. 온도 및 바이어스 전압이 센서의 반응도에 미치는 영향을 수소가스 위험도 최하한선 농도인 4% 수소 농도에 노출된 경우에 대하여 세심하게 분석하였다. AlGaN/GaN 이종접합의 우수한 특성에 식각 구조가 도입된 결과 56%의 높은 반응도와 0.75 초의 빠른 응답 속도 성능을 달성하였다.

Pd, Pd-Rh 게이트 MOS센서의 $H_2$, $H_2S$ 검지특성과 Pd박막의 중착조건이 감지특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. rf power의 증가와 증착온도의 증가는 모두 센서의 감도와 초기반응속도를 감소시켰으며 rf power의 변화보다는 증착온도의 변화에 의한 효과가 현저하였다. Pd-Rh 센서의 경우 순수한 Pd 센서에 비해 감도가 낮았으며 Rh의 양이 증가할수록 감도는 감소하였다. Pd-Rh 센서에서 $H_2$가 $H_2S$보다 더 뛰어난 감도를 보여주었다. rf power, 증착온도, 기판의 변화가 MOS센서의 감도나 초기반응속도 등의 센서특성에 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

The adoption of hydrogen-powered Elec is expanding globally. Hydrogen is recognized as a potentially hazardous energy source, and safety assessment is crucial for the development of plans to supply hydrogen-powered electric buses. Hydrogen gas leakage can have a significant impact during bus operations, and continuous hydrogen leakage in hydrogen-powered vehicles can result in fatal accidents. In this study, information about hydrogen leakage is collected through sensors installed within the vehicles and is measured when the sensor detects a leak. The study also proposes the use of Pseudo Fuel Leakage (PFL, %) as an additional indicator for evaluating and monitoring hydrogen safety and leakage.

Long term stability, sensitization in air, and gas sensing behaviors of tin oxide films were investigated with doping of antimony and palladium. The tin oxide films were prepared on a Corning glass by reactive rf sputtering method and tested for detection of hydrogen gas. Sb-doping improved a long-term stability in the base resistance of $SnO_2$ film sensor. A small amount of Pd doping caused the optimum sensor operating temperature to reduce and also enhanced the gas sensitivity, compared with the undoped $SnO_2$ film. Gas sensitivity depended largely on the film thickness. The important sensitization reactions for sensor operating were $(O_{2ads})+e^-\;{\rightarrow}\;2(O_{ads})^-$ on the surface of $SnO_2$ film at elevated temperature in air and a followed reaction of hydrogen atoms with $(O_{ads})^-$ ions.

The thermal runaway phenomenon in lithium-ion batteries hinders their large-scale application and leads to safety issues, including smoke, fire, and explosion. Therefore, early warning systems must be employed rapidly and reliably to ensure user safety, with methods for detecting gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons-all indicators of the thermal runaway process-considered a promising approach. In particular, metal-oxide-semiconductor-based gas sensors can be used to monitor target gases owing to their high response, fast response, and facile integration. In this paper, we review various strategies for enhancing the performance of metal-oxide-semiconductor-based gas sensors, including nanostructure design, catalyst loading, and composite design. Future perspectives on employing metal-oxide-semiconductor-based gas sensors to monitor thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries are also discussed.

The fuel cell in fuel cell electric vehicle utilizes oxygen in the atmosphere, which requires the use of an air cleaner system to minimize the intake of harmful pollutants. To estimate the performance of the air cleaner system, the pressure drop between the filter inlet and outlet is used under the rated air flow condition. In this study, the effect of sensor error in this air cleaner testing is experimentally carried out. It is found that the errors of the temperature sensor does not significantly affect the estimation of pressure drop. However, in the case of the pressure sensor, 5% sensor error results in the error of pressure drop estimation by 3%. Therefore, it is recommended that the measurement accuracy of the pressure sensor mounted in test system should be maintained at less than 5%.
