Abstract :
This paper presents a study of widely commercial hydrogen-sensing technologies for automotive applications. The performed analysis of hydrogen sensors emphasizes on their advantages and weaknesses in comparison to the automotive industry requirements. Innovative and novel solutions based on the emerging miniaturized technologies which lead to higher performance and more robust hydrogen sensing are proposed and analyzed to overcome the weaknesses in the commercial sensors.
