Abstract
A method for measuring hydrogen concentration in a gas includes exposing a PdNi alloy thin-film gas sensor to the gas, alternately controlling the temperature of the PdNi alloy thin-film gas sensor between a first temperature for a first period of time and a second temperature for a second period of time while the PdNi alloy thin-film sensor is exposed to the gas, continuously monitoring the resistance of the PdNi alloy thin-film gas sensor during the first and second periods of time, and calculating the hydrogen concentration as a function of a transient in the resistance of the PdNi alloy thin-film sensor measured at a time that the temperature transitions between the first temperature and the second temperature.
