description The fast response of H<sub>2</sub> sensors plays an important role in the early warning of H<sub>2</sub> leakage; in this work, a nanoscale <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">γ</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> carrier material was prepared using the precipitation method and a new hydrogen sensor was prepared by doping and modifying it with graphene. During the detecting part of the experiment, the voltage–current–temperature detecting system was designed based on the principle of voltage division and shunt, and the theoretical operating temperature computational model was established in parallel. After testing, it was shown that the sensor had a good linear relationship for the range of 1000–10,000 ppm H<sub>2</sub>; the operating temperature was only 176 °C at 1.4 V operating voltage, the T<sub>90</sub> response time was 6.69 s, and the average sensitivity and temperature rise characteristics were 28.23 mV/1% H<sub>2</sub> and 36.77 °C/1% H<sub>2</sub>, respectively. Moreover, the calculated theoretical operating temperature and the measured temperature were basically consistent. This work provides a useful reference for further exploration of H<sub>2</sub> sensors.
