Electrochemical sensors a modern success story for an old idea

Abstract

Looks at modern electrochemical gas sensors: they way they work and the range of gases they can detect. The largest application area is in portable gas detection equipment where the emphasis is on small size and low power demands. These sensors are also used for emissions monitoring, specifically from combustion sources. Concludes that portable multigas detectors will continue to get smaller with a consequent reduction in size of sensors and that a wider range of gas sensors will be available with advances in electrochemistry.
