However, achieving a robust heterointerface remains challenging due to intrinsic lattice mismatch that induces localized stress, which would be further amplified during repeated interactions between the sensing film and gas analytes. Here, we introduce a floating-structure palladium hydrogen (H 2 ) sensor enabled by interfacial stress decoupling through a dithiol-based self-assembled monolayer (SAM). This interfacial layer acts as a molecular bridge between the palladium sensing layer and the substrate electrode, forming a dual-interface architecture that simultaneously mitigates interfacial stress and suppresses substrate clamping effects, thereby accelerating H₂ absorption kinetics. The resulting sensor demonstrates an ultra-stable and cyclable H 2 detection, featuring a projected operational lifespan exceeding 10 years, and an ultrasensitive detection limit of 1 ppm at room temperature. Moreover, we achieve wafer-scale fabrication and integration of the device into a portable platform for real-time hydrogen leak detection. This work establishes a structurally engineered pathway toward durable and high-performance molecular sensor via interfacial stress management.

However, the construction of durable heterointerfaces remains challenging due to intrinsic lattice mismatches that generate localized stress, a problem further compounded by gas–material interactions such as H 2 adsorption. As a clean energy carrier with a high gravimetric energy density, H 2 plays a pivotal role in the global transition toward carbon-neutral energy systems 8, 9 . While its flammability and low ignition energy demand highly sensitive, rapid, and reliable detection methods for safety-critical applications 10-12 . Among the various strategies for hydrogen detection, electrical sensors based on Pd nanostructures have attracted considerable interest due to their exceptional H 2 -specific absorption properties and the resulting measurable change in electronic conductivity 13-15 . Yet, despite their high sensitivity and selectivity, the long-term operational reliability of Pd-based sensors remains a big challenge. This is primarily due to the inherent phase transition between Pd and PdHₓ during cyclic H 2 absorption/desorption, which induces repetitive lattice expansion and contraction 16, 17 . Over prolonged operation, this leads to microstructural degradation, including stress accumulation, dislocation generation, grain boundary embrittlement, and ultimately, delamination or fracture of the sensing film 18, 19 . This degradation in turn weakens the interfacial adhesion between the Pd layer and substrate, critically undermining device durability. To address this challenge, robust heterogeneous interfaces are strongly needed that can endure cyclic mechanical deformation while maintaining high sensitivity. Achieving such interfaces in gas sensors requires simultaneous optimization of interfacial strength and toughness, strong enough to prevent delamination, yet compliant enough to release localized stress during H 2 -induced lattice transformations. Conventional approaches to enhance interfacial adhesion include chemical functionalization 20 , adhesion-promoting polymer integration 7 , and substrate roughening 21, 22 . These methods operate via mechanisms such as increasing interfacial surface energy, introducing chemical bonding sites, or enabling mechanical interlocking. For instance, titanium (Ti) buffer layers have been introduced to suppress Pd phase transitions 23 , while polymers like polydopamine have been shown to promote interfacial bonding 24 . Nevertheless, these strategies often exacerbate the substrate clamping effect, wherein rigid bonding inhibits hydrogen diffusion into the Pd layer 23, 25 , thereby degrading response time and sensitivity. Moreover, interfacial stress accumulation arising from intrinsic material-molecule interactions still remains unsolved. To overcome these limitations, recent studies have employed flexible substrates, such as PDMS or other elastomers, to provide stress-buffering effects through their intrinsic stretchability 17 . By accommodating volumetric changes during H 2 adsorption, these materials reduce interfacial delamination and prolong sensor lifespan. However, Pd layers deposited onto elastomers are typically bonded via weak van der Waals or electrostatic forces 26, 27 , which are insufficient to ensure long-term mechanical stability under repeated operational cycles. Therefore, there is an urgent need for advanced heterointerfaces that not only enhance mechanical adhesion but also accommodate structural changes induced by H 2 absorption. Such interfaces must regulate hydrogen transport kinetics while dissipating stress from lattice expansion, thereby enabling the development of durable, high-performance Pd-based H 2 sensors. Thus here, we introduce a floating-structure H 2 sensor that integrates a dithiol SAM as a molecular bridge between the Pd sensing layer and the substrate electrode, forming a stress decoupling heterointerface. In contrast to conventional interfaces held together by weak van der Waals forces, our integrated heterointerface is reinforced by robust sulfur-metal coordination and a flexible carbon backbone, which significantly improves mechanical toughness and interface stability. This dual-interface design simultaneously mitigates interfacial stress and suppresses substrate clamping effects, thereby accelerating H₂ absorption kinetics. As a result, the sensor exhibits an ultra-stable and cyclable H₂ detection, featuring a projected operational lifespan exceeding 10 years, and an ultrasensitive detection limit of 1 ppm at room temperature. Furthermore, we demonstrate wafer-scale fabrication of floating-structure H 2 sensors, integrating them into a portable detection system for practical hydrogen leak detection. Collectively, this work establishes a new design paradigm for molecular sensing interfaces, overcoming the trade-off between sensitivity and mechanical durability and providing a scalable foundation for next-generation chemical sensors with extended lifetimes and enhanced reliability. Results The design concept of dithiol SAM-engineered heterogeneous interfaces for H 2 gas sensor integration To ensure that the introduction of a SAM layer does not compromise the adsorption-absorption kinetics of the hydrogen molecules on Pd sensing layer during hydrogen detection, a floating-structure design of Pd-based H 2 sensor is proposed here (Fig. 1a). The fabrication process consists of three key steps: (i) deposition of a stable gold (Au) bottom electrode film on the substrate, (ii) growth of a SAM interlayer to optimize interfacial bonding, and (iii) deposition of the Pd sensing layer onto the SAM surface, ensuring that Pd’s absorption-absorption behavior remains unaffected by the interfacial layer during gas sensing. Regarding SAM molecule selection (Fig. 1b), we employed dithiol-terminated organic molecules as SAM building units, with a backbone composed of either long-chain alkyls or π-conjugated benzene rings (Supplementary Fig. 1). This molecular structure enables dual interfacial chemical bonding: on one side, the thiol (-SH) group forms a covalent Au-S bond with the gold electrode, while on the other, the terminal sulfur atom coordinates with the Pd sensing layer via Pd-S interactions, thereby enhancing interfacial adhesion and improving sensor stability. Furthermore, the innovative aspect of this structure lies in the mechanical buffering effect of the SAM layer (Fig. 1c). As is known, the sensing mechanism of the Pd-based hydrogen sensor primarily relies on the lattice expansion induced by hydrogen absorption 16, 28, 29 . As H₂ molecules dissolve into the Pd lattice, the lattice parameter and unit cell volume increase proportionally, exhibiting a linear expansion trend (Fig. 1d). Simultaneously, as the H₂ dissolution concentration varies, Pd undergoes a phase transition between α -PdH x and β -PdH x . Owing to the distinct electrical resistivity of Pd and PdH x , real-time monitoring of the electrical signal variations in the Pd sensing film enables quantitative detection of H 2 concentration in the environment 14, 30 . Additionally, the carbon backbone of the SAM imparts mechanical flexibility, allowing the layer to expand and contract in response to Pd lattice changes during H₂ adsorption and absorption. This adaptability effectively buffers the mechanical stress, mitigating both lateral shear and longitudinal compressive strains induced by Pd lattice expansion and contraction (Fig. 1c). Such stress-buffering capacity is key to enhancing the long-term stability and operational reliability of the sensor. Meanwhile, theoretical calculations (Fig. 1e) reveal that the bonding energies of S-Pd (-2.85 eV) and S-Au (-1.92 eV) are substantially higher than that of Pd-Au (-1.15 eV), where Pd is directly deposited on the gold electrode. These results demonstrate that introducing a dithiol SAM interlayer significantly enhance the adhesion between the Pd sensing layer and the Au electrode, thereby reducing interfacial delamination risk. Therefore, the proposed floating-structure Pd-based H 2 sensor, through the synergistic optimization of interfacial engineering and micromechanical design, it would effectively address the key challenges of interfacial failure and stress accumulation in Pd-based hydrogen sensors and providing a new technological pathway for achieving high-stability and long-lifetime H 2 sensing. SAM-engineered H 2 sensor fabrication and performance Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b show a schematic illustration and corresponding optical images of the fabricated floating-structure sensor device integrated with a dithiol SAM layer. Detailed fabrication procedures are provided in the Experimental Section and schematically presented in Supplementary Fig. 2. In contrast to conventional planar sensor designs, where parallel-patterned electrodes on a substrate are subsequently coated by a sensing film (Supplementary Fig. 3), our device utilizes a vertically aligned crossbar architecture. In this design, two vertically stacked electrodes are separated by a dithiol SAM layer and a Pd sensing film, enabling full circumferential exposure to enhance hydrogen detection performance. To avoid electrical short-circuiting between the lower Au electrode and the upper Pt electrode, a SiO 2 insulation layer was deposited over the Au electrode, leaving only a 200 µm circular window for selective SAM formation. A cross-sectional schematic of the sensor structure is provided in Fig. 2c. Considering that the thicknesses of the dithiol SAM and Pd sensing layer critically affect both mechanical stability and hydrogen detection sensitivity, these parameters were systematically optimized by tuning the SAM layer growth time and Pd film deposition thickness. The crystallographic orientation of the deposited Pd film was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), confirming a cubic structure with a preferential (111) orientation (Fig. 2d). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging (inset of Fig. 2d and Supplementary Fig. 5) further demonstrates the formation of a uniform, densely packed Pd film with a thickness of approximately 80 nm. To verify the incorporation of the dithiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM), cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping and line profiling was conducted on the Pd–SAM–Au junction within the sensor device (Fig. 2e–2g). Here the incorporated dithiol SAM molecule is 1,10-decanedithiol (C10). HRTEM analysis reveals a uniform interfacial layer (~2 Å) in intimate contact with both Pd and Au, with a thickness consistent with the theoretical molecular length of C10 (Supplementary Fig. 1), confirming successful SAM integration in the floating structure. Notably, due to the use of RF sputtering for Au deposition, the resulting Au films exhibited a nanodot morphology (Supplementary Fig. 4), potentially allowing partial penetration of dithiol molecules into the Au layer. Such a structural configuration facilitates the formation of a continuous SAM across the nanodot surfaces, as evidenced by sulfur distribution in the EDX elemental mapping and line scan (Fig. 2f and 2g), which confirms sulfur presence throughout the Au region. Furthermore, the chemical interactions between the C10 and the Pd and Au were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (Fig. 2h and Supplementary Fig. 6 and Fig. 7). The XPS analysis reveals distinct sulfur–metal binding peaks for both Pd (S–Pd: 2p 3/2 = 163.6 eV, 2p 1/2 = 162.7 eV) 31, 32 and Au (S–Au: 2p 3/2 = 163.7 eV, 2p 1/2 = 162.0 eV) 33, 34 , confirming the chemisorption of thiol groups. Additionally, another set of sulfur satellite peaks which attributed to unbound –SH termini is observed in both the SAM-Pd (163.6eV and 162.7eV) 35 and SAM-Au (163.6eV and 162.7eV) 34 spectra, which further support the formation of a well-aligned, ordered SAM without disordered growth. Furthermore, the electrical and hydrogen sensing performance of the SAM-engineered sensor devices was systematically investigated. Fig. 2i presents the I-V characteristics of three different sensor architectures: conventional planar structure (Supplementary Fig. 8), a floating structure without a SAM layer, and a floating structure incorporating a C10 SAM layer. A detailed analysis of the conduction characteristics for floating-structured devices with different dithiol SAM is presented in Supplementary Fig. 8. The results indicate that the sputtered Pd film exhibits higher conductivity in the vertical direction compared to the lateral direction. Notably, a slight decrease in conductivity is observed upon the introduction of the dithiol SAM, suggesting that although the SAM introduces a heterointerface, efficient charge transport is still maintained. Subsequently, H 2 sensing performance was further evaluated under 1000 ppm H 2 at room temperature (Fig. 2j and Supplementary Fig. 9 and Fig. 10). It is seen that the planar structure device presents a very tiny sensing response (Supplementary Fig. 9), while the SAM-integrated floating structure demonstrated a gigantic sensing performance improvement over the planar and SAM-free floating structure. Moreover, the influences of SAM growth time and Pd film thickness on sensing sensitivity, response time, and recovery characteristics were also systematically assessed (Supplementary Fig. 11). Due to the SAM layer growth on metals surfaces proceeds via rapid initial diffusion-limited chemisorption, followed by slower two-dimensional nucleation and molecular reorganization into densely packed, ordered films 36 , the growth time critically influences the orientation characteristics and film qualities of SAM layer. Thus, the optimized SAM growth time for such a sensor architecture design was determined with 24 hours. Under these conditions, a Pd film thickness of ~80 nm exhibited the highest H 2 sensitivity and optimal response/recovery dynamics (Supplementary Fig. 12). Furthermore, the H 2 sensing performance of floating-structured sensors incorporating various dithiol SAM was evaluated (Fig. 2k and Supplementary Fig. 10). The results reveal that aliphatic dithiol SAM composed of aliphatic dithiols, characterized by flexible alkyl chains, markedly enhance sensor sensitivity, with performance progressively increasing with chain length. In contrast, aromatic dithiol SAMs produced a dendritic effect that adversely impacted the sensing response. This degradation is likely attributed to the rigid π-conjugated backbone of aromatic molecules, which hampers close molecular packing, facilitates dendritic film formation, and disrupts interfacial uniformity 37, 38 and ultimately impeding efficient electron transport across the sensing junction. These findings highlight the pivotal role of interface engineering using aliphatic dithiol SAM layer in floating-structure designs for promoting H 2 adsorption. Sensing principles of SAM-engineered H 2 sensor To elucidate the mechanism by which the C10 SAM layer enhances H 2 sensing, we systematically investigate interfacial electron transport across the Pd-SAM-Au junction, which is regarded as a critical factor governing sensing performance. To this end, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and current–voltage (I–V) measurements are employed to characterize the interfacial electronic structure and its correlation with H 2 -induced dynamic responses of the Pd layer. Alkyl-chain thiol molecules, terminated with reactive –SH groups, readily form strong chemisorption bonds with noble metals such as Au and Pd, enabling the fabrication of robust and tunable molecule–electrode interfaces 32, 39 . Their extended alkyl chains spontaneously organize into highly ordered SAM layer, allowing precise structural control in nanoscale electronic architectures. Owing to these characteristics, such molecules are widely employed in molecular-scale electronic devices, including switches and transistors 40-42 . In this study, we focus on C10, a saturated σ-bonded molecule exhibiting a wide HOMO–LUMO energy gap (Fig. 3a and Supplementary Fig. 13), which renders it electrically insulating in the absence of metal coupling. However, upon adsorption onto metal surfaces (Au or Pd), the end-group of thiol (-SH) usually form covalent S–metal bonds, inducing substantial interfacial electron coupling and energy-level realignment. This interaction leads to the formation of interfacial states near the Fermi level, indicative of Fermi-level pinning effects that modulate the local electronic structure and facilitate charge transport 43-45 . UPS measurements (Fig. 3b and 3c) reveal a pronounced decrease in work function following SAM adsorption, suggesting the formation of interfacial dipoles driven by S–metal bonding. The resulting energy-level reordering reduces the charge injection barrier, thereby enhancing electron transmission across the interface 43, 46 . This phenomenon is further supported by first-principles calculations, which predict improved energy-level alignment and enhanced interfacial conductivity (Fig. 3e and Supplementary Fig. 14). Notably, coordination of the C10 molecule with Pd and Au induces the emergence of new electronic states near the Fermi level in the Pd–SAM–Au system, indicating strong interfacial electronic coupling that facilitates charge transport across the heterojunction 47-49 . To further assess the electron transport capability of the SAM layer under H 2 response conditions, we simulated density of states (DOS) variations in the Pd–SAM–Au system under applied uniaxial strains ranging from 1% to 10% (Fig. 3e and Supplementary Fig. 15). The results show a progressive increase in DOS for energy states above the Fermi level (E – E F > 0) with increasing strain, indicating electron transport at the interface is further enhanced under mechanical stress. In this context, charge transport across the heterojunction can be understood as electron tunneling through a potential barrier. Additionally, complementary I–V measurements were performed to evaluate charge transport behavior experimentally (Fig. 3f). The corresponding Fowler–Nordheim (F–N) plot of ln(I/V²) versus 1/V shows linear behavior across a wide voltage range, suggesting ohmic conduction with no discernible transition voltage even under high bias. This observation is consistent with a stable off-resonant transport regime 43, 50 . These results indicated that, despite the formation of new electronic states following thiol coordination with Pd and Au, the heterointerface still remains remarkable electron transport properties. Collectively, these findings highlight that the introduction of the thiol SAM not only preserves the intrinsic conductive properties of the heterojunction interface but also enhances electron transport via interfacial stress transfer induced by hydrogen adsorption in the Pd film. Furthermore, the influence of the SAM layer on H 2 adsorption kinetics during the sensing process was investigated. In metallic Pd, H 2 adsorption proceeds via surface molecular adsorption and dissociation, followed by the diffusion of dissociated atomic hydrogen into the Pd bulk, where it occupies interstitial lattice sites to form palladium hydride 51, 52 (Fig. 3h). The extent of hydrogen absorption is quantitatively described by the bulk hydrogen-to-palladium atomic ratio (H/Pd, denoted as n ), which governs the phase transition from metallic Pd to the hydride phase. However, in the sensor architecture presented here, where the Pd film is deposited on a substrate, hydrogen diffusion into the bulk is constrained by mechanical clamping from the substrate 53, 54 . This restriction limits volumetric expansion and thereby suppresses further hydrogen absorption until an equilibrium is established between bulk expansion and substrate-induced confinement (Fig. 3h). Consequently, the hydriding process in thin Pd films follows a nonlinear kinetic regime, defined by a dynamic equilibrium between lattice Pd and absorbed hydrogen 51 . This regime also corresponds to the phase during which the sensor gradually reaches maximum performance in its dynamic electrical response (Fig. 2j). To quantify the real-time H/Pd ratio in bulk Pd, an essential parameter for evaluating the SAM layer’s role in tailoring H 2 absorption, we analyzed the temporal evolution of the n ( t ) within the bulk diffusion regime (Fig. 3i). These values were extracted from dynamic hydrogen response curves (Fig. 2j). The time scale was adjusted so that t = 0 s marks the onset of the nonlinear regime. Details of the calibration procedure are provided in the Supplementary. The solid lines in Fig. 3i represent fits obtained using absorption-related kinetic models for the bulk diffusion regime 51 . shown in Fig. 3j. These results indicate that the embedded dithiol SAM effectively mitigate the substrate clamping effect, thereby facilitating hydrogen absorption. Furthermore, the inherent flexibility of dithiol molecules further promotes this process by reducing mechanical constraints at the Pd interface. As a result, the floating-structured Pd film sensor architecture design achieves significantly improved hydrogen absorption kinetics, leading to enhanced sensitivity and reduced response time during sensing operations. Mechanical enhancement principle of SAM-engineered H 2 sensor Understanding the mechanical behavior of Pd-Au heterointerfaces under tensile loading is essential for elucidating their fracture characteristics and interfacial adhesion properties. To this end, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to obtain the interface binding strength and fracture behaviors of the C10 molecule incorporated Pd-Au systems. Details of the simulation procedures are provided in the Supplementary Information. Interfacial models of Pd(111)-Au(111) (Pd-Au) and Pd(111)-C10F-Au(111) (Pd-SAM-Au) were constructed with energetically stable bonding configurations, as shown in Fig. 4a. The computed interfacial binding energies indicate that the Pd-SAM-Au structure possesses a significantly lower binding energy than the Pd-Au interface (Fig. 4b), suggesting a thermodynamically more stable configuration. This enhanced interfacial adhesion is attributed to strong molecular interactions introduced by the SAM layer, as evidenced by the more negative binding energy. To further evaluate the mechanical response of the interfaces under uniaxial loading, axial tensile strain was applied in the out-of-plane (z) direction to both Pd-Au and Pd-SAM-Au models until interfacial fracture occurred (Supplementary Fig. S16). The resulting stress-strain profiles are shown in Fig. 4c and Supplementary Fig. S17. For the Pd–Au interface, stress increased steadily with strain, reaching a peak at ~17%, followed by an abrupt drop, indicative of brittle fracture without significant atomic rearrangement. In contrast, the Pd-SAM-Au interface exhibited a more complex deformation behavior. Stress increased up to ~14% strain, followed by a plateau region suggesting a yielding phase. Beyond ~18%, the stress resumed rising, reaching a second peak at ~26% before final failure. This ~50% increase in fracture strain highlights the toughening effect introduced by the SAM layer, which modulates interfacial mechanics via molecular-level restructuring. The enhancement in ductility is attributed to the straightening of the SAM’s initial zig-zag conformation under strain, which delays crack propagation and imparts greater mechanical resilience. As a result, the failure mode transitions from brittle to ductile upon SAM incorporation, emphasizing the pivotal role of molecular architecture in regulating interfacial fracture behavior. To quantitatively assess the influence of the SAM buffer layer on sensor stability and reliability, 50 repeated sensing cycles were performed under identical conditions, and the corresponding response curves were analyzed (Fig. 4d). The sensor incorporating the SAM layer exhibited excellent repeatability, with a maximum error below 5% across all cycles. In contrast, devices lacking the SAM layer experienced a marked performance decline, showing more than 50% signal degradation after several test cycles. These results demonstrate the critical role of the SAM buffer in mechanically decoupling the Pd expansion-induced stress, thereby mitigating stress concentration and enhancing long-term sensor stability. Furthermore, the presence of the Au–SAM–Pd multilayer architecture also facilitated improved hydrogen adsorption/desorption kinetics in the Pd sensing layer, leading to notable gains in sensitivity and response speed. Sensing performance of SAM-engineered H 2 sensor Next, the sensing performance of the floating-structured H 2 sensor incorporating a C10 SAM layer was systematically evaluated. Fig. 5a shows the dynamic response curves of the sensor to H 2 concentrations ranging from 1 ppm to 1000 ppm at room temperature. Notably, the sensor device achieves reliable detection of hydrogen at concentrations as low as 1 ppm. Fig. 5b demonstrating its suitability for trace-level monitoring in leak detection scenarios. Additionally, cross sensing tests confirmed the as-fabricated H 2 sensor shows good selectivity to hydrogen gas over other analytes (Fig. 5c), highlighting its robustness and gas-specific response. Meanwhile, long-term stability tests are assessed and it is shown that the sensor present a slight decrease in sensing performance after working for one month, but still maintained over 85% of its initial response over 1-year continuous test (Fig. 5d). These results suggested that the as-fabricated H 2 sensor has a potential to stability working for nearly 10 years. Furthermore, the sensor device maintained stable signal output at an applied bias as low as 0.005 V, corresponding to a power consumption of ~5 μW (Fig. 5e). This ultralow power operation renders the sensor particularly promising for large-scale integration in wireless sensor networks. Finally, a comprehensive comparison of key performance metrics, including operating temperature 55, 56 , detection limit 57, 58 , power consumption 59-61 , operational lifespan 62 , and selectivity 63, 64 , is summarized in Fig. 5f. This comparable study demonstrated that the proposed floating-structured H 2 sensor exhibits a superior overall performance compared to previously reported H 2 sensors. Wafer-scale fabrication of SAM-engineered H 2 sensor and H 2 test platform integration Finally, we demonstrate the wafer-scale fabrication of the proposed H₂ sensor and evaluate its potential for real-time hydrogen leakage monitoring. Fig. 6a shows an array of H₂ sensor devices fabricated on a 4-inch Si/SiO 2 wafer via standard photolithography processes. Each individual sensor chip was diced to a dimension of 2 × 2 mm, with the C10 SAM layer selectively formed within circular regions of 200 μm diameter, over which the Pd sensing film was deposited. Detailed fabrication steps are provided in the Supplementary Information. To satisfy the requirements for practical deployment, wafer-scale fabrication of H₂ sensors must achieve both high yield and performance uniformity. To assess these metrics, 25 sensor chips were randomly selected from various regions across the wafer and characterized using a semiconductor parameter analyzer in conjunction with a probe station (Fig. 6b). The baseline resistances of all tested devices remained within 4.2 Ω, and the sensing responses to 1000 ppm H₂ exhibited minimal variation, ranging around 0.56%, thereby confirming the excellent yield and uniformity of the wafer-scale process. Furthermore, sensor chips were packaged using Au wire ball-bonding techniques, and the packaged devices retained nearly identical sensing responses compared to their unpackaged counterparts (Fig. 6c). This result confirms the compatibility of the proposed sensor design with standard microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) packaging processes and underscores its potential for scalable and practical applications. Since the sensing signal generated during H 2 detection typically manifests as a weak voltage variation (on the order of tens of millivolts), signal amplification and noise suppression are critical for the development of reliable H₂ leakage monitoring platforms. To address this, a multifunctional detection module integrating a Wheatstone bridge and an operational amplifier circuit was designed and fabricated on a printed circuit board (PCB), as illustrated in Fig. 6d. Detailed circuit schematics are provided in the Supplementary 21. Data acquisition and communication were facilitated via an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a microcontroller unit (MCU), powered by a 5 V regulator with integrated ON/OFF switches and GPIO interfaces. The processed sensing data was wirelessly transmitted to a smart platform through Wi-Fi for real-time feedback of environmental hydrogen concentrations (Fig. 6d). The fully assembled H₂ leakage monitoring module, interfaced with a laptop for data visualization, is shown in Fig. 6e. To evaluate the efficacy of the signal amplification design, we compared the sensing responses of the platform integrated with and without the Wheatstone bridge-amplifier circuit toward 1000 ppm H₂ (Fig. 6f). The results revealed a three-order-of-magnitude enhancement in voltage signal amplitude upon integration of the amplification module, while maintaining excellent signal stability. Furthermore, the platform demonstrated consistent signal enhancement across a wide range of H₂ concentrations (1–1000 ppm), with a notably strong and stable response even at 1 ppm (Fig. 6h and Supplementary 22), confirming its high sensitivity and practical utility for real-time hydrogen monitoring. To extend its applicability, a handheld hydrogen leakage monitoring platform was developed by integrating the fabricated MEMS H₂ sensor with commercial temperature and humidity sensors, as illustrated in Fig. 6g. Details of the sensing platform design are provided in the Supplementary 23. Owing to its compact form factor and portability, the platform enables versatile deployment in real-time H₂ leak detection scenarios. As a demonstration, Fig. 6i shows the deployment of the system in a hydrogen cylinder cabinet, a common environment where safety monitoring is critical. Leveraging an embedded H 2 concentration recognition algorithm, the platform is capable of delivering real-time feedback of ambient H 2 levels (Figs. 6j and 6k) and automatically triggering a leakage alarm when abnormal concentrations are detected. Discussion In this work, we present a floating-structure molecular sensor designed with a mechanically reinforced heterointerface, incorporating a dithiol-terminated SAM as a molecular bridge between the Pd sensing layer and the underlying electrode for hydrogen detection. In contrast to conventional van der Waals-bonded interfaces, the engineered interface in our device leverages strong sulfur-metal coordination and a flexible carbon backbone, significantly enhancing interfacial toughness and mechanical reliability. This molecular interface not only improves structural stability but also mitigate the mechanical clamping effect from substrate and accelerates H₂ absorption kinetics. As a result, the stress-relieving architecture confirms an ultra-stable H₂ sensing and long-term operational stability, enabling consistent performance retention projected to exceed 10 years. Moreover, the sensor achieves a gigantic improvement in sensitivity at room temperature, with a detection limit down to 1 ppm. Beyond device-level improvements, we demonstrate the feasibility of wafer-scale fabrication, yielding high device uniformity and integration potential. Leveraging this scalability, the floating-structure H₂ sensors were successfully incorporated into a portable detection module capable of real-time hydrogen leak monitoring in practical scenarios. Collectively, this work introduces a new paradigm for molecular interface design in chemical sensors, addressing the longstanding trade-off between sensitivity and mechanical durability. The integration of robust molecular anchoring with scalable fabrication strategies lays a versatile foundation for next-generation sensor systems, offering enhanced lifetime, reliability, and real-world applicability. Experimental Methods SAM-engineered sensor device fabrication . The fabrication process begins with the patterning of gold electrodes on a Si/SiO 2 substrate, using photolithography. Subsequently, Cr/Au electrodes are deposited via radio-frequency magnetron sputtering (RF). Next, the patterning of SiO₂ insulation layer is carried out using photolithography, followed by the deposition of SiO₂ layer using RF sputtering. Afterward, photolithography is used to define the palladium (Pd) sensitive layer pattern, and the wafer is then immersed in a precursor solution to grow SAM buffer layer, and followed by the deposition of Pd layer via RF sputtering. Finally, the Pt electrode pattern is defined on the Pd-sensitive layer using photolithography, and Ti/Pt layer are deposited via RF sputtering, completing the fabrication of the hydrogen sensor. Microstructure characterizations. The microstructure of deposited Au and Pd films were obtained using a JEOL JSM-7610F microscope. After the sensor device fabricated, a Pd-SAM-Au samples were processed by the focused ion beam method to obtain an ultrathin section of the interface, and then mounted it on grids and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) (JEM-ARM200F, JOEL), with Elemental Dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping for elemental analysis. To evaluate the chemical bonding at the SAM@Au and SAM@Pd interfaces, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) (PHI-5000 VersaProbe III, ULVAC) equipped with an argon ion sputtering system was employed. The process for fabricating the ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) samples was the same as that for XPS samples. UPS measurements were conducted under a base pressure of >2 × 10⁻⁹ Torr, using He I (h = 21.22 eV) as the excitation source. To acquire secondary electron cutoff (SEC) data, a −10 V bias was applied to the sample in a normal emission geometry. For all UPS spectra, the Fermi level was calibrated by determining the Fermi edge of a clean Au film sputtered onto the sample, and it was set as the zero binding energy. H 2 sensing measurement. Gas measurements were conducted by using a probe station (KT-0904T-RL, Ketan Instrument) combined with a semiconductor analyzer (4200A-SCS, Keithley). The total flow rate was maintained at a constant 1000 sccm. The test temperature was controlled at 25°C and and a relative humidity of 40-60%.The mass flow controller (MFC, KT-D07-19B) was controlled via LabVIEW software, enabling precise adjustment of hydrogen concentration (1–1000 ppm) by mixing hydrogen with nitrogen. Resistance of the sensor device under N 2 was recorded as baseline ( R N2 ). The resistance upon exposure of H 2 gas (Weichuang Standard Reference Gas, Shanghai) was noted as R gas , and sensing response was defined as ( R gas - R N2 )×100%/ R N2 . The recovery time was defined as the time required for the recovery of the resistance to 90% of R N2 for the desorption process. All the sensing tests were carried out under a DC bias voltage of 0.1 V. DFT calculations. The energy diagrams andstrain-dependentdensity of state (DOS) of C10 molecule and Pd-C10-Au systems are modeled and calculated via Density functional theory (DFT) simulation. the Au-Pd and Au-SAMs-Pd structures. To further investigate the mechanical properties of the interfaces, DFT calculations were applied to simulate the interface binding strength and fracture behavior of Pd-Au and Pd-SAMs-Au models. Details of the simulation procedures are provided in the Supplementary Information. Wafer-size H 2 gas sensor fabrication and package. The wafer-scale fabrication of floating-structure H 2 gas sensor are followed with a standard photolithography technique on 4-inch SiO 2 /Si substrate. Specific fabrication processes are similar as the above SAM-engineered sensor device. After wafer-level fabrication, the 4-inch wafer was diced into multiple micro-nano hydrogen gas sensor chips. The sensor chips were fixed to their respective packaging using epoxy resin, and the electrodes on both ends of the chips were connected to the package pins via ball bonding. Finally, the sensor chip package was sealed using epoxy resin. H 2 test platform integration. In the fabrication of the detection system, the circuit and PCB design were carried out using JLCPCB EDA software (JLCPCB, China). The Wheatstone bridge circuit and low-power instrumentation amplifier (AD8421BRZ, Analog Devices, USA) convert the small resistance changes caused by environmental gas variations into measurable voltage changes. These signals are then amplified in two stages and filtered to detect hydrogen at different concentrations. The voltage is sampled using an ultra-low noise ADC (AD7193BRUZ, Analog Devices, USA), which features high resolution, precision, and extremely low offset voltage, enabling accurate signal acquisition after amplification and filtering. The USB-to-UART bridge chip (CP2102-GMR, Silicon Labs, USA) and its peripheral circuitry are used for programming and driver downloading. The main controller (ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N4 MCU module) communicates with the ADC chip via SPI, receiving the digitized signals. This MCU module is a versatile Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chip, capable of transmitting the sensor signals collected by the ADC to a PC or smartphone over Wi-Fi. For power management, the system is powered by a 7.4V lithium-ion battery (18650, Tianke Tai, China) and uses multiple linear regulators for voltage stabilization (AMS1117-3.3V, MSKSEMI, Hong Kong; TPS7A7002DDAR, TI, USA), as well as a charge pump (TP7660H, TOPPWER, China) to generate negative voltage. These components ensure proper power supply and reference voltage for each module. Additionally, the system uses passive components (resistors, capacitors, ferrite beads, etc., in 0805 and 0603 packages), power button switches (XKB8585-Z-150, China), and sliding switches (Shouhan, MST22D18G2 125, China).

However, the construction of durable heterointerfaces remains challenging due to intrinsic lattice mismatches that generate localized stress, a problem further compounded by gas\u0026ndash;material interactions such as H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e adsorption. As a clean energy carrier with a high gravimetric energy density, H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e plays a pivotal role in the global transition toward carbon-neutral energy systems\u003csup\u003e8, 9\u003c/sup\u003e. While its flammability and low ignition energy demand highly sensitive, rapid, and reliable detection methods for safety-critical applications\u003csup\u003e10-12\u003c/sup\u003e. Among the various strategies for hydrogen detection, electrical sensors based on Pd nanostructures have attracted considerable interest due to their exceptional H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e-specific absorption properties and the resulting measurable change in electronic conductivity\u003csup\u003e13-15\u003c/sup\u003e. Yet, despite their high sensitivity and selectivity, the long-term operational reliability of Pd-based sensors remains a big challenge. This is primarily due to the inherent phase transition between Pd and PdHₓ during cyclic H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e absorption/desorption, which induces repetitive lattice expansion and contraction\u003csup\u003e16, 17\u003c/sup\u003e. Over prolonged operation, this leads to microstructural degradation, including stress accumulation, dislocation generation, grain boundary embrittlement, and ultimately, delamination or fracture of the sensing film\u003csup\u003e18, 19\u003c/sup\u003e. This degradation in turn weakens the interfacial adhesion between the Pd layer and substrate, critically undermining device durability. To address this challenge, robust heterogeneous interfaces are strongly needed that can endure cyclic mechanical deformation while maintaining high sensitivity.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchieving such interfaces in gas sensors requires simultaneous optimization of interfacial strength and toughness, strong enough to prevent delamination, yet compliant enough to release localized stress during H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e-induced lattice transformations. Conventional approaches to enhance interfacial adhesion include chemical functionalization\u003csup\u003e20\u003c/sup\u003e, adhesion-promoting polymer integration\u003csup\u003e7\u003c/sup\u003e, and substrate roughening\u003csup\u003e21, 22\u003c/sup\u003e. These methods operate via mechanisms such as increasing interfacial surface energy, introducing chemical bonding sites, or enabling mechanical interlocking. For instance, titanium (Ti) buffer layers have been introduced to suppress Pd phase transitions\u003csup\u003e23\u003c/sup\u003e, while polymers like polydopamine have been shown to promote interfacial bonding\u003csup\u003e24\u003c/sup\u003e. Nevertheless, these strategies often exacerbate the substrate clamping effect, wherein rigid bonding inhibits hydrogen diffusion into the Pd layer\u003csup\u003e23, 25\u003c/sup\u003e, thereby degrading response time and sensitivity. Moreover, interfacial stress accumulation arising from intrinsic material-molecule interactions still remains unsolved. To overcome these limitations, recent studies have employed flexible substrates, such as PDMS or other elastomers, to provide stress-buffering effects through their intrinsic stretchability\u003csup\u003e17\u003c/sup\u003e. By accommodating volumetric changes during H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e adsorption, these materials reduce interfacial delamination and prolong sensor lifespan. However, Pd layers deposited onto elastomers are typically bonded via weak van der Waals or electrostatic forces\u003csup\u003e26, 27\u003c/sup\u003e, which are insufficient to ensure long-term mechanical stability under repeated operational cycles. Therefore, there is an urgent need for advanced heterointerfaces that not only enhance mechanical adhesion but also accommodate structural changes induced by H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e absorption. Such interfaces must regulate hydrogen transport kinetics while dissipating stress from lattice expansion, thereby enabling the development of durable, high-performance Pd-based H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensors.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus here, we introduce a floating-structure H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor that integrates a dithiol SAM as a molecular bridge between the Pd sensing layer and the substrate electrode, forming a stress decoupling heterointerface. In contrast to conventional interfaces held together by weak van der Waals forces, our integrated heterointerface is reinforced by robust sulfur-metal coordination and a flexible carbon backbone, which significantly improves mechanical toughness and interface stability. This dual-interface design simultaneously mitigates interfacial stress and suppresses substrate clamping effects, thereby accelerating H₂ absorption kinetics. As a result, the sensor exhibits an ultra-stable and cyclable H₂ detection, featuring a projected operational lifespan exceeding 10 years, and an ultrasensitive detection limit of 1 ppm at room temperature. Furthermore, we demonstrate wafer-scale fabrication of floating-structure H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensors, integrating them into a portable detection system for practical hydrogen leak detection. Collectively, this work establishes a new design paradigm for molecular sensing interfaces, overcoming the trade-off between sensitivity and mechanical durability and providing a scalable foundation for next-generation chemical sensors with extended lifetimes and enhanced reliability.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Results","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe design concept of dithiol SAM-engineered heterogeneous interfaces for H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e gas sensor integration\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure that the introduction of a SAM layer does not compromise the adsorption-absorption kinetics of the hydrogen molecules on Pd sensing layer during hydrogen detection, a floating-structure design of Pd-based H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor is proposed here (Fig. 1a). The fabrication process consists of three key steps: (i) deposition of a stable gold (Au) bottom electrode film on the substrate, (ii) growth of a SAM interlayer to optimize interfacial bonding, and (iii) deposition of the Pd sensing layer onto the SAM surface, ensuring that Pd\u0026rsquo;s absorption-absorption behavior remains unaffected by the interfacial layer during gas sensing. Regarding SAM molecule selection (Fig. 1b), we employed dithiol-terminated organic molecules as SAM building units, with a backbone composed of either long-chain alkyls or \u0026pi;-conjugated benzene rings (Supplementary Fig. 1). This molecular structure enables dual interfacial chemical bonding: on one side, the thiol (-SH) group forms a covalent Au-S bond with the gold electrode, while on the other, the terminal sulfur atom coordinates with the Pd sensing layer via Pd-S interactions, thereby enhancing interfacial adhesion and improving sensor stability. Furthermore, the innovative aspect of this structure lies in the mechanical buffering effect of the SAM layer (Fig. 1c). As is known, the sensing mechanism of the Pd-based hydrogen sensor primarily relies on the lattice expansion induced by hydrogen absorption\u003csup\u003e16, 28, 29\u003c/sup\u003e. As H₂ molecules dissolve into the Pd lattice, the lattice parameter and unit cell volume increase proportionally, exhibiting a linear expansion trend (Fig. 1d). Simultaneously, as the H₂ dissolution concentration varies, Pd undergoes a phase transition between \u003cem\u003e\u0026alpha;\u003c/em\u003e-PdH\u003csub\u003ex\u003c/sub\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u0026beta;\u003c/em\u003e-PdH\u003csub\u003ex\u003c/sub\u003e. Owing to the distinct electrical resistivity of Pd and PdH\u003csub\u003ex\u003c/sub\u003e, real-time monitoring of the electrical signal variations in the Pd sensing film enables quantitative detection of H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e concentration in the environment\u003csup\u003e14, 30\u003c/sup\u003e. Additionally, the carbon backbone of the SAM imparts mechanical flexibility, allowing the layer to expand and contract in response to Pd lattice changes during H₂ adsorption and absorption. This adaptability effectively buffers the mechanical stress, mitigating both lateral shear and longitudinal compressive strains induced by Pd lattice expansion and contraction (Fig. 1c). Such stress-buffering capacity is key to enhancing the long-term stability and operational reliability of the sensor. Meanwhile, theoretical calculations (Fig. 1e) reveal that the bonding energies of S-Pd (-2.85 eV) and S-Au (-1.92 eV) are substantially higher than that of Pd-Au (-1.15 eV), where Pd is directly deposited on the gold electrode. These results demonstrate that introducing a dithiol SAM interlayer significantly enhance the adhesion between the Pd sensing layer and the Au electrode, thereby reducing interfacial delamination risk. Therefore, the proposed floating-structure Pd-based H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor, through the synergistic optimization of interfacial engineering and micromechanical design, it would effectively address the key challenges of interfacial failure and stress accumulation in Pd-based hydrogen sensors and providing a new technological pathway for achieving high-stability and long-lifetime H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAM-engineered H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor fabrication and performance\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFig. 2a and Fig. 2b show a schematic illustration and corresponding optical images of the fabricated floating-structure sensor device integrated with a dithiol SAM layer. Detailed fabrication procedures are provided in the Experimental Section and schematically presented in Supplementary Fig. 2. In contrast to conventional planar sensor designs, where parallel-patterned electrodes on a substrate are subsequently coated by a sensing film (Supplementary Fig. 3), our device utilizes a vertically aligned crossbar architecture. In this design, two vertically stacked electrodes are separated by a dithiol SAM layer and a Pd sensing film, enabling full circumferential exposure to enhance hydrogen detection performance. To avoid electrical short-circuiting between the lower Au electrode and the upper Pt electrode, a SiO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e insulation layer was deposited over the Au electrode, leaving only a 200 \u0026micro;m circular window for selective SAM formation. A cross-sectional schematic of the sensor structure is provided in Fig. 2c. Considering that the thicknesses of the dithiol SAM and Pd sensing layer critically affect both mechanical stability and hydrogen detection sensitivity, these parameters were systematically optimized by tuning the SAM layer growth time and Pd film deposition thickness. The crystallographic orientation of the deposited Pd film was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), confirming a cubic structure with a preferential (111) orientation (Fig. 2d). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging (inset of Fig. 2d and Supplementary Fig. 5) further demonstrates the formation of a uniform, densely packed Pd film with a thickness of approximately 80 nm.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo verify the incorporation of the dithiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM), cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping and line profiling was conducted on the Pd\u0026ndash;SAM\u0026ndash;Au junction within the sensor device (Fig. 2e\u0026ndash;2g). Here the incorporated dithiol SAM molecule is 1,10-decanedithiol (C10). HRTEM analysis reveals a uniform interfacial layer (~2 \u0026Aring;) in intimate contact with both Pd and Au, with a thickness consistent with the theoretical molecular length of C10 (Supplementary Fig. 1), confirming successful SAM integration in the floating structure. Notably, due to the use of RF sputtering for Au deposition, the resulting Au films exhibited a nanodot morphology (Supplementary Fig. 4), potentially allowing partial penetration of dithiol molecules into the Au layer. Such a structural configuration facilitates the formation of a continuous SAM across the nanodot surfaces, as evidenced by sulfur distribution in the EDX elemental mapping and line scan (Fig. 2f and 2g), which confirms sulfur presence throughout the Au region. Furthermore, the chemical interactions between the C10 and the Pd and Au were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (Fig. 2h and Supplementary Fig. 6 and Fig. 7). The XPS analysis reveals distinct sulfur\u0026ndash;metal binding peaks for both Pd (S\u0026ndash;Pd: 2p\u003csub\u003e3/2\u003c/sub\u003e = 163.6 eV, 2p\u003csub\u003e1/2\u003c/sub\u003e = 162.7 eV)\u003csup\u003e31, 32\u003c/sup\u003eand Au (S\u0026ndash;Au: 2p\u003csub\u003e3/2\u003c/sub\u003e = 163.7 eV, 2p\u003csub\u003e1/2\u003c/sub\u003e = 162.0 eV)\u003csup\u003e33, 34\u003c/sup\u003e,\u0026nbsp;confirming the chemisorption of thiol groups.\u0026nbsp;Additionally, another set of sulfur satellite peaks which\u0026nbsp;attributed to unbound \u0026ndash;SH termini\u0026nbsp;is observed in both the SAM-Pd (163.6eV and 162.7eV)\u003csup\u003e35\u003c/sup\u003e and SAM-Au (163.6eV and 162.7eV)\u003csup\u003e34\u003c/sup\u003e spectra, which further support the formation of a well-aligned, ordered SAM without disordered growth.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the electrical and hydrogen sensing performance of the SAM-engineered sensor devices was systematically investigated. Fig. 2i presents the I-V characteristics of three different sensor architectures: conventional planar structure (Supplementary\u0026nbsp;Fig. 8), a floating structure without a SAM layer, and a floating structure incorporating a C10 SAM layer. A detailed analysis of the conduction characteristics for floating-structured devices with different dithiol SAM is presented in Supplementary Fig. 8. The results indicate that the sputtered Pd film exhibits higher conductivity in the vertical direction compared to the lateral direction. Notably, a slight decrease in conductivity is observed upon the introduction of the dithiol SAM, suggesting that although the SAM introduces a heterointerface, efficient charge transport is still maintained. Subsequently, H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensing performance was further evaluated under 1000 ppm H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e at room temperature (Fig. 2j and Supplementary Fig. 9 and Fig. 10). It is seen that the planar structure device presents a very tiny sensing response (Supplementary Fig. 9), while the SAM-integrated floating structure demonstrated a gigantic sensing performance improvement over the planar and SAM-free floating structure. Moreover, the influences of SAM growth time and Pd film thickness on sensing sensitivity, response time, and recovery characteristics were also systematically assessed (Supplementary Fig. 11). Due to the SAM layer growth on metals surfaces proceeds via rapid initial diffusion-limited chemisorption, followed by slower two-dimensional nucleation and molecular reorganization into densely packed, ordered films\u003csup\u003e36\u003c/sup\u003e, the growth time critically influences the orientation characteristics and film qualities of SAM layer. Thus, the optimized SAM growth time\u0026nbsp;for such a sensor architecture design was determined with\u0026nbsp;24 hours. Under these conditions, a Pd film thickness of ~80 nm exhibited the highest H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensitivity and optimal response/recovery dynamics (Supplementary Fig. 12). Furthermore, the H\u003csub\u003e2\u0026nbsp;\u003c/sub\u003esensing performance of floating-structured sensors incorporating various dithiol SAM was evaluated (Fig. 2k and Supplementary Fig. 10). The results reveal that aliphatic dithiol SAM composed of aliphatic dithiols, characterized by flexible alkyl chains, markedly enhance sensor sensitivity, with performance progressively increasing with chain length. In contrast, aromatic dithiol SAMs produced a dendritic effect that adversely impacted the sensing response. This degradation is likely attributed to the rigid \u0026pi;-conjugated backbone of aromatic molecules, which hampers close molecular packing, facilitates dendritic film formation, and disrupts interfacial uniformity\u003csup\u003e37, 38\u003c/sup\u003e and ultimately impeding efficient electron transport across the sensing junction. These findings highlight the pivotal role of interface engineering using aliphatic dithiol SAM layer in floating-structure designs for promoting H\u003csub\u003e2\u0026nbsp;\u003c/sub\u003eadsorption.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensing principles of SAM-engineered H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo elucidate the mechanism by which the C10 SAM layer enhances H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensing, we systematically investigate interfacial electron transport across the Pd-SAM-Au junction, which is regarded as a critical factor governing sensing performance. To this end, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and current\u0026ndash;voltage (I\u0026ndash;V) measurements are employed to characterize the interfacial electronic structure and its correlation with H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e-induced dynamic responses of the Pd layer.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlkyl-chain thiol molecules, terminated with reactive \u0026ndash;SH groups, readily form strong chemisorption bonds with noble metals such as Au and Pd, enabling the fabrication of robust and tunable molecule\u0026ndash;electrode interfaces\u003csup\u003e32, 39\u003c/sup\u003e. Their extended alkyl chains spontaneously organize into highly ordered SAM layer, allowing precise structural control in nanoscale electronic architectures. Owing to these characteristics, such molecules are widely employed in molecular-scale electronic devices, including switches and transistors\u003csup\u003e40-42\u003c/sup\u003e. In this study, we focus on C10, a saturated \u0026sigma;-bonded molecule exhibiting a wide HOMO\u0026ndash;LUMO energy gap (Fig. 3a and Supplementary Fig. 13), which renders it electrically insulating in the absence of metal coupling. However, upon adsorption onto metal surfaces (Au or Pd), the end-group of thiol (-SH) usually form covalent S\u0026ndash;metal bonds, inducing substantial interfacial electron coupling and energy-level realignment. This interaction leads to the formation of interfacial states near the Fermi level, indicative of Fermi-level pinning effects that modulate the local electronic structure and facilitate charge transport\u003csup\u003e43-45\u003c/sup\u003e. UPS measurements (Fig. 3b and 3c) reveal a pronounced decrease in work function following SAM adsorption, suggesting the formation of interfacial dipoles driven by S\u0026ndash;metal bonding. The resulting energy-level reordering reduces the charge injection barrier, thereby enhancing electron transmission across the interface\u003csup\u003e43, 46\u003c/sup\u003e. This phenomenon is further supported by first-principles calculations, which predict improved energy-level alignment and enhanced interfacial conductivity (Fig. 3e and Supplementary Fig. 14). Notably, coordination of the C10 molecule with Pd and Au induces the emergence of new electronic states near the Fermi level in the Pd\u0026ndash;SAM\u0026ndash;Au system, indicating strong interfacial electronic coupling that facilitates charge transport across the heterojunction \u003csup\u003e47-49\u003c/sup\u003e. To further assess the electron transport capability of the SAM layer under H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e response conditions, we simulated density of states (DOS) variations in the Pd\u0026ndash;SAM\u0026ndash;Au system under applied uniaxial strains ranging from 1% to 10% (Fig. 3e and Supplementary Fig. 15). The results show a progressive increase in DOS for energy states above the Fermi level (E \u0026ndash; E\u003csub\u003eF\u003c/sub\u003e\u0026gt; 0) with increasing strain, indicating electron transport at the interface is further enhanced under mechanical stress. In this context, charge transport across the heterojunction can be understood as electron tunneling through a potential barrier. Additionally, complementary I\u0026ndash;V measurements were performed to evaluate charge transport behavior experimentally\u0026nbsp;(Fig. 3f). The corresponding Fowler\u0026ndash;Nordheim (F\u0026ndash;N) plot of ln(I/V\u0026sup2;) versus 1/V shows linear behavior across a wide voltage range, suggesting ohmic conduction with no discernible transition voltage even under high bias. This observation is consistent with a stable off-resonant transport regime\u003csup\u003e43, 50\u003c/sup\u003e. These results indicated that, despite the formation of new electronic states following thiol coordination with Pd and Au, the heterointerface still remains remarkable electron transport properties. Collectively, these findings highlight that the introduction of the thiol SAM not only preserves the intrinsic conductive properties of the heterojunction interface but also enhances electron transport via interfacial stress transfer induced by hydrogen adsorption in the Pd film.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the influence of the SAM layer on H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e adsorption kinetics during the sensing process was investigated. In metallic Pd, H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e adsorption\u0026nbsp;proceeds via\u0026nbsp;surface molecular adsorption and dissociation, followed by the diffusion of dissociated atomic hydrogen into the Pd bulk, where it occupies interstitial lattice sites to form palladium hydride\u003csup\u003e51, 52\u003c/sup\u003e (Fig. 3h). The extent of hydrogen absorption is quantitatively described by the bulk hydrogen-to-palladium atomic ratio (H/Pd, denoted as \u003cem\u003en\u003c/em\u003e), which governs the phase transition from metallic Pd to the hydride phase.\u0026nbsp;However, in the sensor architecture presented here, where the Pd film is deposited on a substrate, hydrogen diffusion into the bulk is constrained by mechanical clamping from the substrate\u003csup\u003e53, 54\u003c/sup\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003eThis restriction limits volumetric expansion and thereby suppresses further hydrogen absorption until an equilibrium is established between bulk expansion and substrate-induced confinement (Fig. 3h). Consequently, the hydriding process in thin Pd films follows a nonlinear kinetic regime, defined by a dynamic equilibrium between lattice Pd and absorbed hydrogen\u003csup\u003e51\u003c/sup\u003e. This regime also corresponds to the phase during which the sensor gradually reaches maximum performance in its dynamic electrical response (Fig. 2j).\u0026nbsp;To quantify the real-time H/Pd ratio in bulk Pd, an essential parameter for evaluating the SAM layer\u0026rsquo;s role in tailoring H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e absorption, we analyzed the temporal evolution of the \u003cem\u003en\u003c/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003et\u003c/em\u003e) within the bulk diffusion regime (Fig. 3i). These values were extracted from dynamic hydrogen response curves (Fig. 2j). The time scale was adjusted so that \u003cem\u003et\u003c/em\u003e = 0 s marks the onset of the nonlinear regime. Details of the calibration procedure are provided in the Supplementary. The solid lines in Fig. 3i represent fits obtained using absorption-related kinetic models for the bulk diffusion

in Fig. 3j. These results indicate that the embedded dithiol SAM effectively mitigate the substrate clamping effect, thereby facilitating hydrogen absorption. Furthermore, the inherent flexibility of dithiol molecules further promotes this process by reducing mechanical constraints at the Pd interface. As a result, the floating-structured Pd film sensor architecture design achieves significantly improved hydrogen absorption kinetics, leading to enhanced sensitivity and reduced response time during sensing operations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical enhancement principle of SAM-engineered H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding the mechanical behavior of Pd-Au heterointerfaces under tensile loading is essential for elucidating their fracture characteristics and interfacial adhesion properties. To this end, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to obtain the interface binding strength and fracture behaviors of the C10 molecule incorporated Pd-Au systems. Details of the simulation procedures are provided in the Supplementary Information. Interfacial models of Pd(111)-Au(111) (Pd-Au) and Pd(111)-C10F-Au(111) (Pd-SAM-Au) were constructed with energetically stable bonding configurations, as shown in Fig. 4a. The computed interfacial binding energies indicate that the Pd-SAM-Au structure possesses a significantly lower binding energy than the Pd-Au interface (Fig. 4b), suggesting a thermodynamically more stable configuration. This enhanced interfacial adhesion is attributed to strong molecular interactions introduced by the SAM layer, as evidenced by the more negative binding energy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo further evaluate the mechanical response of the interfaces under uniaxial loading, axial tensile strain was applied in the out-of-plane (z) direction to both Pd-Au and Pd-SAM-Au models until interfacial fracture occurred (Supplementary Fig. S16). The resulting stress-strain profiles are shown in Fig. 4c and Supplementary Fig. S17. For the Pd\u0026ndash;Au interface, stress increased steadily with strain, reaching a peak at ~17%, followed by an abrupt drop, indicative of brittle fracture without significant atomic rearrangement. In contrast, the Pd-SAM-Au interface exhibited a more complex deformation behavior. Stress increased up to ~14% strain, followed by a plateau region suggesting a yielding phase. Beyond ~18%, the stress resumed rising, reaching a second peak at ~26% before final failure. This ~50% increase in fracture strain highlights the toughening effect introduced by the SAM layer, which modulates interfacial mechanics via molecular-level restructuring. The enhancement in ductility is attributed to the straightening of the SAM\u0026rsquo;s initial zig-zag conformation under strain, which delays crack propagation and imparts greater mechanical resilience. As a result, the failure mode transitions from brittle to ductile upon SAM incorporation, emphasizing the pivotal role of molecular architecture in regulating interfacial fracture behavior.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo quantitatively assess the influence of the SAM buffer layer on sensor stability and reliability, 50 repeated sensing cycles were performed under identical conditions, and the corresponding response curves were analyzed (Fig. 4d). The sensor incorporating the SAM layer exhibited excellent repeatability, with a maximum error below 5% across all cycles. In contrast, devices lacking the SAM layer experienced a marked performance decline, showing more than 50% signal degradation after several test cycles. These results demonstrate the critical role of the SAM buffer in mechanically decoupling the Pd expansion-induced stress, thereby mitigating stress concentration and enhancing long-term sensor stability. Furthermore, the presence of the Au\u0026ndash;SAM\u0026ndash;Pd multilayer architecture also facilitated improved hydrogen adsorption/desorption kinetics in the Pd sensing layer, leading to notable gains in sensitivity and response speed.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensing performance of SAM-engineered H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, the sensing performance of the floating-structured H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor incorporating a C10 SAM layer was systematically evaluated. Fig. 5a shows the dynamic response curves of the sensor to H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e concentrations ranging from 1 ppm to 1000 ppm at room temperature. Notably, the sensor device achieves reliable detection of hydrogen at concentrations as low as 1 ppm. Fig. 5b demonstrating its suitability for trace-level monitoring in leak detection scenarios. Additionally, cross sensing tests confirmed the as-fabricated H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor shows good selectivity to hydrogen gas over other analytes (Fig. 5c), highlighting its robustness and gas-specific response. Meanwhile, long-term stability tests are assessed and it is shown that the sensor present a slight decrease in sensing performance after working for one month, but still maintained over 85% of its initial response over 1-year continuous test (Fig. 5d). These results suggested that the as-fabricated H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e sensor has a potential to stability working for nearly 10 years. Furthermore, the sensor device maintained stable signal output at an applied bias as low as 0.005 V, corresponding to a power consumption of ~5 \u0026mu;W (Fig. 5e). This ultralow power operation renders the sensor particularly promising for large-scale integration in wireless sensor networks.

Fig. 6a shows an array of H₂ sensor devices fabricated on a 4-inch Si/SiO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e wafer via standard photolithography processes. Each individual sensor chip was diced to a dimension of 2 \u0026times; 2 mm, with the C10 SAM layer selectively formed within circular regions of 200 \u0026mu;m diameter, over which the Pd sensing film was deposited. Detailed fabrication steps are provided in the Supplementary Information. To satisfy the requirements for practical deployment, wafer-scale fabrication of H₂ sensors must achieve both high yield and performance uniformity. To assess these metrics, 25 sensor chips were randomly selected from various regions across the wafer and characterized using a semiconductor parameter analyzer in conjunction with a probe station (Fig. 6b). The baseline resistances of all tested devices remained within 4.2 \u0026Omega;, and the sensing responses to 1000 ppm H₂ exhibited minimal variation, ranging around 0.56%, thereby confirming the excellent yield and uniformity of the wafer-scale process. Furthermore, sensor chips were packaged using Au wire ball-bonding techniques, and the packaged devices retained nearly identical sensing responses compared to their unpackaged counterparts (Fig. 6c). This result confirms the compatibility of the proposed sensor design with standard microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) packaging processes and underscores its potential for scalable and practical applications.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the sensing signal generated during H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e detection typically manifests as a weak voltage variation (on the order of tens of millivolts), signal amplification and noise suppression are critical for the development of reliable H₂ leakage monitoring platforms. To address this, a multifunctional detection module integrating a Wheatstone bridge and an operational amplifier circuit was designed and fabricated on a printed circuit board (PCB), as illustrated in Fig. 6d. Detailed circuit schematics are provided in the Supplementary 21. Data acquisition and communication were facilitated via an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a microcontroller unit (MCU), powered by a 5 V regulator with integrated ON/OFF switches and GPIO interfaces. The processed sensing data was wirelessly transmitted to a smart platform through Wi-Fi for real-time feedback of environmental hydrogen concentrations (Fig. 6d). The fully assembled H₂ leakage monitoring module, interfaced with a laptop for data visualization, is shown in Fig. 6e. To evaluate the efficacy of the signal amplification design, we compared the sensing responses of the platform integrated with and without the Wheatstone bridge-amplifier circuit toward 1000 ppm H₂ (Fig. 6f). The results revealed a three-order-of-magnitude enhancement in voltage signal amplitude upon integration of the amplification module, while maintaining excellent signal stability. Furthermore, the platform demonstrated consistent signal enhancement across a wide range of H₂ concentrations (1\u0026ndash;1000 ppm), with a notably strong and stable response even at 1 ppm (Fig. 6h and Supplementary 22), confirming its high sensitivity and practical utility for real-time hydrogen monitoring. To extend its applicability, a handheld hydrogen leakage monitoring platform was developed by integrating the fabricated MEMS H₂ sensor with commercial temperature and humidity sensors, as illustrated in Fig. 6g. Details of the sensing platform design are provided in the Supplementary 23. Owing to its compact form factor and portability, the platform enables versatile deployment in real-time H₂ leak detection scenarios. As a demonstration, Fig. 6i shows the deployment of the system in a hydrogen cylinder cabinet, a common environment where safety monitoring is critical. Leveraging an embedded H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e concentration recognition algorithm, the platform is capable of delivering real-time feedback of ambient H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e levels (Figs. 6j and 6k) and automatically triggering a leakage alarm when abnormal concentrations are detected.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Discussion","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn this work, we present a floating-structure molecular sensor designed with a mechanically reinforced heterointerface, incorporating a dithiol-terminated SAM as a molecular bridge between the Pd sensing layer and the underlying electrode for hydrogen detection. In contrast to conventional van der Waals-bonded interfaces, the engineered interface in our device leverages strong sulfur-metal coordination and a flexible carbon backbone, significantly enhancing interfacial toughness and mechanical reliability. This molecular interface not only improves structural stability but also mitigate the mechanical clamping effect from substrate and accelerates H₂ absorption kinetics. As a result, the stress-relieving architecture confirms an ultra-stable H₂ sensing and long-term operational stability, enabling consistent performance retention projected to exceed 10 years. Moreover, the sensor achieves a gigantic improvement in sensitivity at room temperature, with a detection limit down to 1 ppm. Beyond device-level improvements, we demonstrate the feasibility of wafer-scale fabrication, yielding high device uniformity and integration potential. Leveraging this scalability, the floating-structure H₂ sensors were successfully incorporated into a portable detection module capable of real-time hydrogen leak monitoring in practical scenarios. Collectively, this work introduces a new paradigm for molecular interface design in chemical sensors, addressing the longstanding trade-off between sensitivity and mechanical durability.

Subsequently, Cr/Au electrodes are deposited via radio-frequency magnetron sputtering (RF). Next, the patterning of SiO₂ insulation layer is carried out using photolithography, followed by the deposition of SiO₂ layer using RF sputtering. Afterward, photolithography is used to define the palladium (Pd) sensitive layer pattern, and the wafer is then immersed in a precursor solution to grow SAM buffer layer, and followed by the deposition of Pd layer via RF sputtering.

The Wheatstone bridge circuit and low-power instrumentation amplifier (AD8421BRZ, Analog Devices, USA) convert the small resistance changes caused by environmental gas variations into measurable voltage changes. These signals are then amplified in two stages and filtered to detect hydrogen at different concentrations. The voltage is sampled using an ultra-low noise ADC (AD7193BRUZ, Analog Devices, USA), which features high resolution, precision, and extremely low offset voltage, enabling accurate signal acquisition after amplification and filtering. The USB-to-UART bridge chip (CP2102-GMR, Silicon Labs, USA) and its peripheral circuitry are used for programming and driver downloading. The main controller (ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N4 MCU module) communicates with the ADC chip via SPI, receiving the digitized signals. This MCU module is a versatile Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chip, capable of transmitting the sensor signals collected by the ADC to a PC or smartphone over Wi-Fi. For power management, the system is powered by a 7.4V lithium-ion battery (18650, Tianke Tai, China) and uses multiple linear regulators for voltage stabilization (AMS1117-3.3V, MSKSEMI, Hong Kong; TPS7A7002DDAR, TI, USA), as well as a charge pump (TP7660H, TOPPWER, China) to generate negative voltage. These components ensure proper power supply and reference voltage for each module. Additionally, the system uses passive components (resistors, capacitors, ferrite beads, etc., in 0805 and 0603 packages), power button switches (XKB8585-Z-150, China), and sliding switches (Shouhan, MST22D18G2 125, China).\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Number: 52375148 and 52321002) and the Natural Science Foundation of Shanghai (Grant No. 23ZR1417000).\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor contributions\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eG.

However, achieving a robust heterointerface remains challenging due to intrinsic lattice mismatch that induces localized stress, which would be further amplified during repeated interactions between the sensing film and gas analytes. Here, we introduce a floating-structure palladium hydrogen (H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e) sensor enabled by interfacial stress decoupling through a dithiol-based self-assembled monolayer (SAM). This interfacial layer acts as a molecular bridge between the palladium sensing layer and the substrate electrode, forming a dual-interface architecture that simultaneously mitigates interfacial stress and suppresses substrate clamping effects, thereby accelerating H₂ absorption kinetics. The resulting sensor demonstrates an ultra-stable and cyclable H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e detection, featuring a projected operational lifespan exceeding 10 years, and an ultrasensitive detection limit of 1 ppm at room temperature. Moreover, we achieve wafer-scale fabrication and integration of the device into a portable platform for real-time hydrogen leak detection. This work establishes a structurally engineered pathway toward durable and high-performance molecular sensor via interfacial stress management.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Interfacial Stress Decoupling enables Ultra-Stable Palladium-based Hydrogen Sensing","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-06-12 06:23:15","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6720533/v1","editorialEvents":[],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"nature-communications","isNatureJournal":true,"hasQc":false,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"NCOMMS","sideBox":"Learn more about [Nature Communications](http://www.nature.com/ncomms/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"https://mts-ncomms.nature.com/","title":"Nature Communications","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"ejp","reportingPortfolio":"Nature Communications","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":false}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"7cd83059-d659-4aaf-8876-2b2c75752ee9","owner":[],"postedDate":"June 12th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[{"id":49844596,"name":"Physical sciences/Engineering/Mechanical engineering"},{"id":49844597,"name":"Physical sciences/Nanoscience and technology/Nanoscale devices/Nanosensors"},{"id":49844598,"name":"Physical sciences/Nanoscience and technology/Nanoscale devices/Sensors"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-03-24T07:05:47+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-6720533","link":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-69499-6","journal":{"identity":"nature-communications","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Nature Communications"},"publishedOn":"2026-02-12 05:00:00","publishedOnDateReadable":"February 12th, 2026"},"versionCreatedAt":"2025-06-12 06:23:15","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1038/s41467-026-69499-6","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-69499-6","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-6720533","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-6720533","identity":"rs-6720533","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"XKTyCvWXoU3ODBz1xrDgd","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
