The invention relates to the technical field of
hydrogen detection, in particular to a
hydrogen detector based on
precious metal coupling, which comprises a substrate, an elastic layer and a sensing unit, the elastic layer is arranged on the substrate, the sensing unit is periodically arranged on the elastic layer, the sensing unit comprises a
palladium block, a first
precious metal part and a second
precious metal part, the
palladium block is arranged on the elastic layer, and the first precious
metal part is arranged on the first precious
metal part. The first precious
metal part and the second precious metal part are arranged on the
palladium block, and a gap is formed between the first precious metal part and the second precious metal part. During application, in a to-be-detected
hydrogen environment, the
continuous spectrum light source irradiates the first
noble metal part and the second
noble metal part, the palladium block adsorbs hydrogen to generate expansion, and hydrogen or
hydrogen concentration detection is realized through movement of resonant
wavelength. In the invention, the size of the palladium block for adsorbing hydrogen is large, and the sizes of the first
noble metal part and the second noble metal part which cause the
resonance wavelength to move are small, so that the adjustment force of the hydrogen on the
resonance wavelength is large, and the hydrogen detection with higher sensitivity is realized.
