AB  - This article outlines a novel material to enable the detection of hydrogen gas. 
      The material combines thin-film metallic glass (TFMG), ultra-nanocrystalline 
      diamond (UNCD), and ZnO nanorods (ZNRs) and can be used as a device for effective 
      hydrogen gas sensing. Three sensors were fabricated by using combinations of pure 
      ZNRs (Z), UNCD/ZNRs (DZ), and TFMG/UNCD/ZNRs (MDZ). The MDZ device exhibited a 
      performance superior to the other configurations, with a sensing response of 34 % 
      under very low hydrogen gas concentrations (10 ppm) at room temperature. 
      Remarkably, the MDZ-based sensor exhibits an ultra-high sensitivity of 60.5 % 
      under 500 ppm H(2) . The MDZ sensor proved very fast in terms of response time 
      (20 s) and recovery time (35 s). In terms of selectivity, the sensors were 
      particularly suited to hydrogen gas. The sensor achieved the same response 
      performance even after two months, thereby demonstrating the superior stability. 
      It is postulated that the superior performance of MDZ can be attributed to 
      defect-related adsorption as well as charge carrier density. This paper also 
      discusses the respective energy band models of these heterostructures and also 
      the interface effect on the gas sensing enhancements. The results indicate that 
      the proposed hybrid TFMG/UNCD/ZNRs nanostructures could be utilized as 
      high-performance hydrogen gas sensors.
