Abstract

Palladium thin films have been studied as hydrogen sensing materials and applied to variety of optical hydrogen sensors. Recently, tantalum has emerged as an attractive option for hydrogen sensing materials due to its broad sensing range and flexibility in tuning the sensing range by modifying the alloying composition or elements. Following the demand for optical hydrogen sensors for aerospace applications, testing the performance of hydrogen sensing materials is of interest. This work examines the optical response in respect to changing hydrogen concentrations and thermal expansion of palladium-gold (Pd_0.65Au_0.35) and tantalum-ruthenium (Ta_0.97Ru_0.03 and Ta_0.91Ru_0.09) thin films at temperatures similar to a hydrogen combustion engine. Our results suggest that tantalum-ruthenium alloys are suitable for sensing hydrogen from ambient temperatures up to 270^◦C because its low detection limit (0.01% of hydrogen in the atmosphere) is well below the explosive limit of hydrogen (4% of hydrogen in the atmosphere).
