Surface modification & optimization of gas nanoelectroceramics-based sensor systems

Objective



Objectives and content

Increasing public concern over environmental issues. along with a growing industrial need for well-controlled atmospheres. demand the development of progressively more advanced reliable and largely maintenance-free gas sensor and monitoring systems.

The first and overall objective of the presently-proposed multidisciplinary project is to offer a European challenge to current Japanese supremacy in the field by developing flexible fabrication processes for high-quality selective solid-state sensors. Beginning with the proprietary thick-film technology of one of the consortium members the second objective is to optimize a complete low-cost carbon dioxide sensor along with its associated electronics.
This will culminate in an industrial prototype so ensuring rapid technology transfer. The consortium inolves committed industrial and academic partners having a wide range of complementary expertise and expects to achieve these goals via a rigorous intvestigation into the relevant gas/ceramic surface interactions so as to understand and master the complex phenomena involved, some of which are responsible for the dramatic degradation of current sensors. Incremental multicriteria optimization based on powerful surface science and catalytic techniques will play a key role in this proposed highly-focussed research strategy.
