The need to store and use hydrogen safely as part of green economy based on renewable energy evokes a necessity to reliably detect it at ambient conditions. The majority of currently used sensors are working at elevated temperatures (200-500 °C). In this work, we demonstrate that ceria films deposited on a commercial electrode by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and electron beam evaporation (EBE) electrically respond to hydrogen (from 20 to 500 ppm) at much lower temperatures (50-200 °C). The results reveal that <1.5 nm thin Pd adlayer increases the electrical response by several orders of magnitude for both ceria films. The NAP-XPS study under changing oxidative/reductive atmospheres sheds light on the mechanism of Pd-CeOx thermal activation and the role of the deposition technique in the reactivity of the oxide.
