摘要
We present a humidity sensor based on H-ZSM-5 type zeolite that is suitable to detect traces of humidity (similar to 10-110 ppm(v)) under harsh conditions, e.g. reducing atmosphere (H-2) and high temperature (up to 600 degrees C). By means of complex impedance spectroscopy (IS) we show that the zeolite sensor responds linearly towards minimal changes in humidity. Therefore this result indicates that the zeolite sensor is capable to detect traces of humidity in processes where high temperatures in a hydrogen environment are required. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
