Objective
To develop (or improve) chemical sensors for environmental as well as industrial gaseous atmospheres (H2/CHx/NOxSOx) with high performance. To form an industrial project club around associated labs, (JRC,UKAEA,University of Tubingen,Milan, Madrid). Main lines: a) NOx gas sensor; b) characterization of existing sensors for industry.
Progress to end 1990
Completion of a testing facility of sensors (semiconductors, potentiometric) at JRC Ispra for testing response in complex atmospheres (e.g. Nox + air + CO) basic tests with Nox + air in cooperation with "Milano Ricerche".
Project Club "Chemical Sensors": two main lines established with Italian Industrial and Environmental users of chemical sensors for gases (about 10) and one producer in two meetings held at "Milano Ricerche". They are:
a) observatory on S/T and Commercial progress in the area.Budget requested:200 MiLit/year;
b) Establishment for pre-normative protocol procedures for testing existing sensors in severe conditions (e.g. alcohol traces). Interest expressed by UNI ("Unione Nazionale Ingegneri",accredited Italian Standardization Body). For b) a document is prepared and budget will be proposed in December 1990..SP0 - surface characterization (by SAM/SEM, Nanoscan, XPS, glancing Angle X-Ray) of solid state gas sensors' electrodes for NOx: i. Sn02/Si02/Si multilayers
ii.Pt,Ag AgNO3 film electrode
- First results of electrochemical response in NOx atmosphere with above electrode;
- Four publications in Scientific Journals;
- One patent for a Cermet (Ce02-x, PrO2+/Pt) electrode for electro-chemical oxygen sensing deposited in Luxembourg, procedures running for other Member States;
- Associated Laboratories: "Milano Ricerche", Univerties of Milan, Brescia, Parma, Madrid, SCIC-Spain
Detailed description of work foreseen in 1991 (expected results)
- Full operation of the testing facility at JRC-Ispra
- Start of operation of the Project Club "Chemical Sensors" in the work for Third Parties in association with "Milano Richerche";
- Full development of surface characterization procedures of sensor films including Thin Layer Activation Analysis (Cyclotron);
- Study of gas sensor(s) (potentiometric, semiconductors) for NOx;
- Dopants ion implantation on ceramic films;
- Study of non-stoichiometric oxide properties, especially of perovskite structure (chemical specific reactivity, conductivity and superconductivity, magnetic properties).
Short description of evolution of work in 1992
Study of effects of other gases in N0x/solid state sensing;
Running and economic study of the possibilities of chemical sensors;
S/T and economic study of the possibilities of chemical sensors a) in industrial atmosphers; b) as alert sensors in environment (Domestic and Working Environment).
