Ceramic Chemical Sensors An Overview

Coorstek center for advanced materials.

Ceramic chemical sensors an overview. Chemical sensors are measurement devices that convert a chemical or physical property of a specific analyte into a measurable signal whose magnitude is normally proportional to the concentration of the analyte. Sensor needs in the glass industry glass industry. Chemical sensing principles methods and applications. Some porous electrodes require two mode distributions of pore sizes.

Potentiometric sensors make use of thermodynamic equilibration between the gas and the solid. Ceramic components for all kinds of sensors from ultra sensitive pressure and temperature sensors to oxygen and chemical sensors coorstek provides high performance ceramic components for world class performance in virtually any service condition or application including sensor elements and components for. Many electrodes used in electro chemical devices including gas purifiers gas sensors fuel cells and chemical analyzers are porous ceramics. Coorstek sensors was formed to develop manufacture and deliver unique ceramic based smart sensors to help improve the environment around us combining the unique technologies of emisense emission sensors and pegasor air quality monitors for continuous real time on board and stationary monitoring.

Electrostatic potential drops across interfaces caused by the exchange of ions together with electrons may be used in various ways to measure the concentration of chemical species.
