Abstract
Hydrogen sensing simultaneously endowed with fast response, high sensitivity and selectivity is highly desired in detecting hydrogen leakages such as in hydrogen-driven vehicles and space rockets. Here, hydrogen sensing reined via a hydrogen spillover effect has been developed using palladium nanoparticles photochemically decorated on WO3 nanoparticles (Pd-NPs@WO3-NPs). Theoretically, the Pd-NP catalysts and WO3-NP support are used to construct the hydrogen spillover system, in which Pd NPs possess high catalytic activity, promoting the electron transfer and therefore the reaction kinetics. Beneficially, the Pd-NPs@WO3-NP sensor prototypes toward 500 ppm hydrogen simultaneously exhibit fast response time (∼1.2 s), high response (Ra/Rg = 22 867) and selectivity at a working temperature of 50 °C. Such advanced hydrogen sensing provides an experimental basis for the smart detection of hydrogen leakage in the future hydrogen economy.

Abstract
One of the key issues for an upcoming hydrogen energy-based society is to develop highly efficient hydrogen-storage materials. Among the many hydrogen-storage materials reported, transition-metal hydrides can reversibly absorb and desorb hydrogen, and have thus attracted much interest from fundamental science to applications. In particular, the Pd-H system is a simple and classical metal-hydrogen system, providing a platform suitable for a thorough understanding of ways of controlling the hydrogen-storage properties of materials. By contrast, metal nanoparticles have been recently studied for hydrogen storage because of their unique properties and the degrees of freedom which cannot be observed in bulk, i. e., the size, shape, alloying, and surface coating. In this review, we overview the effects of such degrees of freedom on the hydrogen-storage properties of Pd-related nanomaterials, based on the fundamental science of bulk Pd-H. We shall show that sufficiently understanding the nature of the interaction between hydrogen and host materials enables us to control the hydrogen-storage properties though the electronic-structure control of materials.
