Project description
The world's first O2 gas sensor on a microchip
Gas sensors have become more critical than ever as they become integrated into IoT solutions in manufacturing, industry, and consumer and medical devices. However, current gas sensors are often too large and expensive for the IoT devices many companies would like to build. This is especially the case for O2 gas sensors, where no miniaturised and cost-effective solution exists on the market. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the FaradaIC project aims to address this challenge by developing a groundbreaking miniaturised electrochemical O2 gas sensor on a microchip; the first of its kind. This type of sensor holds immense importance for industries like the burgeoning hydrogen economy; it is vital to the medical field and to breathing devices, where efficient monitoring can be lifesaving; and it offers cost and size efficiency, making it a valuable innovation.
Objective
FaradaIC is bringing to the market the first miniaturised electrochemical O2 gas sensor to enable new sensing opportunities across different industries where a small, chip-based sensor is demanded (breathing devices, fitness, medical, hydrogen economy, etc).
Gas sensors today are too large and expensive for the IoT devices that device manufacturers want to build. This problem is particularly painful when O2 gas sensing is needed since no miniaturised, cost-effective, chip-based O2 gas sensor is available commercially.
We are combining the world of cutting-edge synthetic chemistry and advanced materials with the world of semiconductor manufacturing and microfabrication to achieve smaller, cost-effective and power-efficient gas sensor technology. We are the first company worldwide that has successfully miniaturised the electrochemical variety and our goal is to lead the next sensor revolution with our gas sensing platform, untapping all the potential of gas sensing in multiple markets
