Description
|
The
Center for Smart Sensors and Integrated Microsystems at Wayne State University
has created a metal-insulator-semiconductor hydrogen sensor that behaves
like a metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor. As part of a National
Science Foundation-sponsored program, I gained a basic understanding of
how the sensor works and how to test it. I then designed and constructed
an apparatus to determine the performance of the sensor in the presence
of water vapor (humidity). I'll discuss the apparatus, the preliminary
data I've obtained from it, and how this relates to fuel cell technologies
that will play an increasing role in transportation.
