摘要
Since high efficiency and zero-carbon emission,hydrogen,as a clean energy carrier,is potentially an alternative fuel.Unfortunately,hydrogen is a gas with a high diffusion coefficient,wide explosion limit,and low ignition energy.Thus,to ensure the safe use of hydrogen,accurate and rapid monitoring of hydrogen leakage and abnormal concentration change must be addressed immediately,which is a critical scientific and technical problem.Therefore,we propose an optics-mechanics coupling fiber hydrogen sensor without electricity-related hazard factors.This proposed fiber hydrogen sensor is constructed by combining optics-mechanics coupling,specific adsorption of hydrogen to the surface of palladium(Pd),and Fabry-Pérot(F-P)interference mechanism;the optics-mechanics coupling is aroused by hydrogen-induced stress in the suspended Pd film,which functions as an F-P resonator mirror and a hydrogen-sensitive material.According to this configuration and principle,we achieve efficient and high-selective hydrogen detection at room temperature.This optics-mechanics coupling-based fiber hydrogen sensor is characterized by the high sensitivity(0.397 nm/1%),extensive dynamic range(0.5%–3.5%),8 s response time,and 16 s recovery time.Hence,as an intrinsically safe hydrogen sensor with the high sensitivity and quick response,this optics-mechanics coupling-based fiber hydrogen sensor can be widely used in the hydrogen energy industry chain for rapid and high-performance hydrogen detection.
