Download or read book Multifunctional NOx CO O2 Solid state Sensors for Coal Combustion Control written by E. D. Wachsman and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The composition and microstructure of the sensing electrode are the key parameters that influence the sensing mechanism, and hence key sensor performance parameters: sensitivity, selectivity and response time. During this reporting period we investigated the effect of microstructure and the fundamental heterogeneous gas solid interactions of our NO sensor electrode material. In order to optimize the sensor electrode microstructure, powders were prepared using four different powder synthesis routes, resulting in different particle sizes distributions and BET surface areas. Different electrode processing conditions, e.g. screen-printing slurry composition, sintering schedule, etc. were also applied. In this report we demonstrate that the microstructure of electrodes, synthesized with the same composition, has a dramatic effect on both sensitivity and response time of potentiometric NO sensors. A quartz reactor and a tube furnace were built for the catalysis experiments. The installation of a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) and a multi gas controller were completed. Moreover, the system for the temperature-programmed reaction (TPR) and desorption (TPD) were completed by combining the equipment. We used this heterogeneous catalysis system to determine the adsorption characteristics of O2, NO, CO, CO2, and their mixtures, on the electrode material using TPD, and related the results to sensor performance.

Despite the diverse nature of the topics covered, which include a range of materials in various forms and uses, the emphasis is primarily on sensing and labelling phenomena. The book begins with materials quantification in nanoscale systems by using an innovative technique like "molecular secondary ion mass spectrometry without calibration standards". Subsequently, the book features an array of materials such as inorganic semiconductor nanoscale particles, carbon dots, rare-earth oxides, polymer nanocomposites, and a few biomaterials, all of which illustrate their functionality and potential for deployment in a wide variety of sensing applications. Although the book delves into the technical aspects of fabrication workouts to some extent, the focus is predominantly on the physical principles, mechanisms, and relevance involved in sensing and labelling applications. The book covers a wide range of topics that leverage the unique properties of nanoscale materials. By carefully selecting appropriate active materials, the authors explore the detection of LPG, hazardous and explosive gases, as well as humidity sensing and hydrogen evolution.
