Improvement of the NOx selectivity for a planar YSZ
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work aims to develop a sensor that can leave the laboratory and be industrialised. For this reason potentiometric sensors based on a solid electrolyte YSZ and 2 metallic electrodes (platinum and gold) were fabricated by screenprinting technology and were tested in a laboratory test bench for different concentrations of CO, NO and NO2 in oxygen rich atmosphere. By deposing a catalytic filter consisting of 1.7%Pt dispersed in alumina directly on the electrodes, it was shown that the selectivity towards NOx could be highly reinforced. This filter was characterized by the use of SEM, TPD, and XRD technology.

ZIRCONIA-BASED GAS SENSORS USING OXIDE SENSING ELECTRODE FOR MONITORING NOx IN CAR EXHAUST
Solid-state electrochemical sensors using yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and oxide sensing electrode (SE) were fabricated and examined for NOx detection at high temperatures. Among various single-oxide SEs examined, NiQSE for the mixed-potential-type NOx sensor was found to exhibit rather high sensitivity to N@ even in the high temperature range of 800900°C. This sensor showed quicker respons...

The sensing characteristics of a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based sensor utilizing a NiO sensing-electrode (SE) towards toluene (C(7)H(8)) and interfering gases (C(3)H(6), H(2), CO, NO(2) and C(2)H(5)OH) were evaluated with a view to selective C(7)H(8) monitoring in indoor atmospheres. The fabricated YSZ-based sensor showed preferential responses toward 480 ppb C(2)H(5)OH, rather than the...

This study displays the results obtained with a planar, impedancemetric sensor having a NiCr2O4SE and a specially manufactured FSZ electrolyte. The sensing characteristics to NO and to O2/NO-gas mixtures were analyzed at temperatures up to 700 °C. The cross-selectivity to other flue-gases was tested. As a new capable type of sensing parameter the total impedance was applied.

In this article, a new investigation on a low-temperature electrochemical hydrocarbon and NOx sensor is presented. Based on the mixed-potential-based sensing scheme, the sensor is constructed using platinum and metal oxide electrodes, along with an Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)/Strontium Titanate (SrTiO₃) thin-film electrolyte. Unlike traditional mixed-potential sensors which operate at high...

The pulsed polarization technique on solid electrolytes is based on alternating potential pulses interrupted by self-discharge pauses. Since even small concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the ppm range significantly change the polarization and discharge behavior, pulsed polarization sensors are well suited to measure low amounts of NOx. In contrast to all previous investigations, planar ...
