In the previous article, Embark Tutor conducted a detailed analysis of the winning projects in the Embedded Systems (EBED) category. Next, let's take a deep dive into the Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design (EGSD) category in the 2024 ISEF Global Finals to see how these outstanding researches stand out from the fierce competition.

In 2024 ISEF Global Finals, the Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design (EGSD) category focuses on the development of renewable energy, energy-saving technologies, and environmentally friendly materials. These studies aim to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact and promote sustainable development. Through innovative materials and designs, improve energy efficiency and promote the application and promotion of green technology.

In today's society, energy issues are one of the important challenges facing the world. Research in the EGSD category is not only about the sustainable use of energy, but also about the overall situation of environmental protection and sustainable development. Research in this field involves developing renewable energy, studying energy-saving technologies, and exploring environmentally friendly materials, aiming to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact and promote the widespread application of green technology.

Embark's ISEF online private tutoring service is dedicated to cultivating students with a strong interest in the EGSD field. Our teaching team has rich experience in the field of energy and environmentally friendly materials. Through personalized coaching and project guidance, we will help students deeply understand the cutting-edge knowledge and technology in this field, and improve their research ability and innovative thinking. We hope to provide students with more thinking and learning resources through an in-depth analysis of the EGSD first prize project, inspire their inspiration, and promote their growth and success in the scientific research path.

In this article, Teacher Embark conducted an in-depth analysis of the EGSD first prize project, aiming to provide readers with more thinking angles and learning resources, hoping to inspire inspiration and promote mutual learning.

Regeneron ISEF 2024 EGSD First Award-Highlights

• Project Name

EGSD035 - Gasochromic Technology Enhancing Hydrogen Safety

• Project Introduction

This Regeneron ISEF Award-Winning Project is committed to developing and verifying an innovative, low-cost, and highly reliable hydrogen sensor to meet the growing demand for hydrogen economy and improve the safety of hydrogen storage and use. This sensor uses gas-induced chromic technology, which can cause color changes when exposed to hydrogen, thereby achieving rapid detection without power supply.

The project team designed a sensor structure consisting of WO3-Pd film, photodiode, microcontroller, etc., and carried out prototype assembly, coding, testing and experimental verification. The final result is a hydrogen detection sensor that can respond quickly within 30 seconds, which not only provides a strong guarantee for the safe application of hydrogen, but also lays a solid foundation for promoting the further development of the hydrogen economy.

Regeneron ISEF 2024 EGSD First Award-Analysis

The project uses innovative gas-induced color change technology to detect hydrogen concentration by the color change of tungsten oxide in the presence of hydrogen, bringing new breakthroughs in the field of hydrogen safety. Palladium is used as a catalyst to improve the sensitivity and response speed of the sensor. The project not only uses commercially available tungsten oxide films with palladium catalysts, but also attempts to make its own films. Although it was not successful, it shows the spirit of exploration.

Through the combination of photoelectric sensors and voltage-type hydrogen detection sensors, the project deeply studies the relationship between response time, temperature and hydrogen concentration, and verifies the stability and timeliness of the detection equipment. The highlight of this project is its low-cost strategy. The color reaction film converts the hydrogen concentration into an intuitive visual detection method, which not only reduces costs, but also effectively solves the problem that the traditional hydrogen sensor data is easily affected by temperature.

Overall, the project has a reasonable production process and complete experimental data, providing a novel and practical solution for the field of hydrogen safety detection.

Through an in-depth analysis of the Regeneron ISEF 2024 EGSD First Award project, we not only understand the innovation and development in the energy field, but also see the importance of sustainable development and environmental protection in scientific competitions. Next, we will turn to the Regeneron ISEF 2024 ETSD First Award project to explore the wonderfulness of the engineering technology field.
