Abstract

Dispenser technique was employed to integrate the Pt loaded on alumina (Pt/alumina) micro-catalysts on thin membrane of micro-thermoelectric hydrogen sensor (μ-THS). The μ-THS with Pt loaded alumina showed higher sensing performance than bulk-type THS with Pt thin film prepared by RF sputtering method. For the μ-THS with Pt/alumina catalyst, its voltage signal was 7.3 mV for hydrogen concentration of 1 % in dry air at catalyst temperature of 100 °C. In the case of the bulk-type THS with Pt thin film catalysts, the voltage signal was 0.33 mV under the same condition.
