چکیده
Introduction The objective of our research has been the development of advanced sensors that have the potential to: (1) minimize the environmental impact of energy conversion via control of combustion-generated pollutants such as NO, CO and unburned hydrocarbons; (2) reduce greenhouse gas (CO2) by improving combustion efficiency; and (3) monitor the fugitive emissions from greenhouse gas sequestration efforts. These novel sensors should enable a new generation of strategies for active monitoring and control of combustion and energy conversion technologies of the future.
