Abstract
An improved polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell-based amperometric hydrogen sensor has been developed. The sensor operates at room temperature, and the electrolyte used in the sensor is Nafion which is a proton-conducting solid polymer electrolyte. Platinum black is used as both anode and cathode. The sensor functions as a fuel cell, H2/Pt//Nafion//Pt/O2, and a mechanical barrier limits the supply of hydrogen to the sensing side electrode. The limiting current is found to be linearly related to the hydrogen concentration. The sensor can be used to measure hydrogen in argon in parts per million and percentage levels. The basic principle, details of assembly, and response behavior of the sensor are discussed.
