New sensing technology to improve safety of hydrogen fuel

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

New hydrogen sensor. Credit: © 2025 KAUST. Researchers have invented a highly sensitive, low-cost device which has been shown to outperform existing commercial hydrogen detectors. Green hydrogen, which is made by electrolysing water using renewable energy, has great potential as a “clean” alternative to fossil fuels because it produces only water vapour and energy when combusted. Hydrogen (H2) fuel can be used in gaseous or liquid form. But, as …Thuwal · ThuwalRead Article
