Semiconducting direct thermoelectric gas sensors
F. Rettig and R. Moos, University of Bayreuth, Germany
Abstract:
This chapter deals with semiconducting direct thermoelectric gas sensors based on oxide materials. The principle of the sensor is based on a direct measurement of the position of the Fermi level, which can be strongly dependent on the concentration of an analyte in the ambience. The direct thermoelectric gas sensor principle measures a path-independent quantity – the thermovoltage. This makes the sensors extremely resistant to damage stemming from abrasives in gas streams. This chapter shows the importance of developing an adequate transducer, and includes a careful analysis of the sensor signals obtained. From a technological ...
