The EC Sense solid polymer electrochemical technology is a revolutionary innovation in the field of electrochemical detection. This technology is based on the principle of electrochemical catalytic reaction, detecting the output signals of the electrochemical reactions of different gases and accurately measuring the gas concentration through the signal. The sensor is composed of three electrodes in contact with the electrolyte. A typical electrode consists of a large surface area of noble metal and other materials. The electrode, electrolyte and the surrounding air are in contact and the gas diffuses into the working electrode. Here the gas will be oxidized, this causes a current, which is proportional to the gas concentration.
