Pulse Potential Modulated Electrochemical Gas Sensors, Zhong Bai Zhou, Liang Dong Feng, Wen Jun Liu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The current popular electrochemical gas sensors are mostly stable with regard to their operating states. As a result, the further improvement of sensor charcateristics is restricted by such a "steady state" . Based on the transient electrochemistry principle, a kind of all new transient electrochemical multi component gas sensors— "pulse potential modulated electrochemical gas sensors" was established by combining computer controlled fast modulated potential technique with microelectrode method.This novel approach provided a real time and dynamic sensor technique integrated with acquisition, treatment and display of signals for rapid simultaneous detecion of multicomponent gases, as illustrated by the case of monitoring …


Powder Microelectrode Modified With Nafion-Os(Bpy)_3~( 2+) And Pvp Composite And Its Catalysis For No_2 - Reduction, Pei-Fang Liu, Jia-Wei Yan May 2000

Powder Microelectrode Modified With Nafion-Os(Bpy)_3~( 2+) And Pvp Composite And Its Catalysis For No_2 - Reduction, Pei-Fang Liu, Jia-Wei Yan

Journal of Electrochemistry

The modified powder microelectrode was prepared by etching a Pt (0.1 mm diameter) disk microelectrode and filling in thus formed cavity with Nation_Os(bpy) 3 2+ /PVP composite modified carbon powder. The composite modified powder microelectrode showed cyclic voltammetric behaviors changing with the mole ratio (denoted X) of SO 3 - to Os(bpy) 3 2+ in Nafion. When X=3, a single pair of current peaks appeared near 0.6V (vs. SCE) due to Os(bpy) 3 2+/3+ redox couple. In contrast, for X=20, a pair of additional current peaks occurred near 0.4V. Both X=3 and X=20 modified powder microelectrodes strongly catalyzed the first …
