High-temperature ceramic gas sensors: A review

Identifying chemical species and their quantification have become important in many industrial applications involving high temperatures and chemical contaminants. Center for Industrial Sensors and Measurements has developed TiO2 semiconducting sensors, zirconia and lithium phosphate-based electrochemical sensors, and a sensor array for high-temperature emission control. The underlying theme in our sensor development has been the use of materials science and chemistry to promote high-temperature performance with selectivity. This article presents key results of previous studies on CO, NOx, CO2, and O-2 sensors, and scope for future development.
