    The adsorption and desorption of hydrogen in the magnesium powder hydrogen tank should take place in an environment with a temperature higher than 250 °C. High temperature and high strain will lead to reactive hydrogen leakage from the magnesium hydrogen tank due to tank rupture. Therefore, it is very important to monitor in real time the volume expansion, temperature change, and strain change on the surface of the magnesium hydrogen tank. In this study, the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology was used to innovatively integrate the micro-temperature sensor and the micro-strain sensor into a two-in-one flexible high-temperature micro-sensor with a small size and high sensitivity. It can be placed on the surface of the magnesium hydrogen tank for real-time micro-monitoring of the effect of hydrogen pressure and powder hydrogen absorption expansion on the strain of the hydrogen storage tank.
