However, concerns regarding the inherent risk of hydrogen gas leakage and potential explosions have necessitated the development of advanced sensors. Within our research group, we have innovated an ultrathin platinum (Pt) film hydrogen sensor that gauges resistance changes in Pt thin films when exposed to hydrogen gas. Notably, the sensitivity of each sensor is contingent upon the thickness of the Pt film. To address the challenge of detecting hydrogen using multiple sensors, we integrated the ultrathin Pt film as a resistance element within a twin-T type notch filter. This filter exhibits a distinctive reduction in output signals at a specific frequency. The frequency properties of the notch filter dynamically alter with changes in the resistance of the Pt film induced by hydrogen exposure. Consequently, the ultrathin Pt film hydrogen sensor monitors output signal variations around the notch frequency, responding to shifts in frequency properties. This innovative approach enables the electrical control of sensor sensitivity by adjusting the operating frequency in proximity to the notch frequency. Additionally, the simultaneous detection of hydrogen by multiple sensors was successfully achieved by interconnecting sensors with distinct notch frequencies in series.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24020548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]],"date-time":"2024-01-15T11:15:01Z","timestamp":1705317301000},"page":"548","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ultrathin Platinum Film Hydrogen Sensors with a Twin-T Type Notch Filter Circuit"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Shoki","family":"Wakabayashi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health Systems, Okayama University, 3-1-1 Tsushimanaka, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8530, Japan"}]},{"given":"Yuki","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health Systems, Okayama University, 3-1-1 Tsushimanaka, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8530, Japan"}]},{"given":"Haruhito","family":"Nakayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health Systems, Okayama University, 3-1-1 Tsushimanaka, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8530, Japan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5797-7697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health Systems, Okayama University, 3-1-1 Tsushimanaka, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8530, Japan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6594-2096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Toshihiko","family":"Kiwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health Systems, Okayama University, 3-1-1 Tsushimanaka, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8530, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"795","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijhydene.2004.10.011","article-title":"The properties of hydrogen as fuel tomorrow in sustainable energy system for a cleaner planet","volume":"30","author":"Momirlan","year":"2005","journal-title":"Int.
