چکیده
In this work, a planar solid-state potentiometric CO2 sensor for medical applications of the type CO2, O2, Au, Li2CO3-BaCO3 | Nasicon | Na2Ti6O13-TiO2, Au, O2, CO2 was developed in thick-film technology. Due to an integrated screen-printed platinum heater on the rear side, the sensor can be applied without changing its working temperature of 525°C in the main flow of the respiratory air of an injured person during intubation. The sensor is insensitive to oxygen variations and its signal follows strictly and reproducible the Nernst equation. Thus, the correct installation of the endotracheal tube can be controlled by detecting the CO2-concentration in the exhaled air.

A potentiometric sensor device based on screen-printed Nasicon films was investigated. In order to transfer the promising sensor concept of an open sodium titanate reference to thick film technology, "sodium-rich" and "sodium-poor" formulations were compared. While the "sodium-rich" composition was found to react with the ion conducting Nasicon during thermal treatment, the "sodium-poor" refere...
