Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Chemical Sensing

Background:

  • Nanofilm resonators offer compact and mechanically sensitive platforms for sensing.
  • Trace hydrogen detection is critical for safety and industrial processes.
  • Existing methods often require complex instrumentation or elevated temperatures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly sensitive, all-optical optomechanical nanofilm resonator for trace hydrogen detection.
  • To investigate the performance of palladium-decorated graphene on a fiber end facet for hydrogen sensing.
  • To demonstrate room-temperature operation and a low detection limit.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of an optomechanical nanofilm resonator using graphene decorated with palladium (Pd) and gold (Au) on a fiber end facet.
  • All-optical measurement of resonant frequency shifts induced by hydrogen absorption in the Pd layer.
  • Characterization of sensor response, recovery times, and detection limits at room temperature.

Main Results:

  • The sensor demonstrated a significant blue-shift in mechanical resonance frequencies with increasing hydrogen concentration (0-1000 ppm).
  • Achieved a low detection limit of 741 parts per billion (ppb) for hydrogen.
  • Exhibited response and recovery times of 120.3 s and 91.3 s, respectively, at 1000 ppm.

Conclusions:

  • The developed optomechanical nanofilm resonator enables highly sensitive, room-temperature trace hydrogen detection.
  • The Pd-decorated graphene sensor shows practical potential due to its low detection limit and good repeatability.
  • This all-optical sensing approach offers a promising alternative for hydrogen monitoring.
