Abstract

An illustrative example hydrogen concentration sensor includes a hydrogen chamber configured to isolate hydrogen within the hydrogen chamber from gas outside the hydrogen chamber. A hydrogen evolving electrode is configured to generate pure hydrogen within the hydrogen chamber. A reference electrode is situated to be exposed to pure hydrogen within the hydrogen chamber. A detection electrode associated with the reference electrode is situated to be exposed to gas outside the hydrogen chamber. The detection electrode is configured to provide an indication of a concentration of hydrogen in the gas outside the hydrogen chamber.
