Ceramic chemical sensors an overview. Sensor needs in the glass industry glass industry. Small pores are for the electro chemical reactions while large ones are for flow paths of reactants. Coorstek center for advanced materials. The general bibliography on chemical sensing contains a more complete exposition this chapter develops a taxonomy for this broad sensor class describes some promising application areas e g the detection of toxic chemicals in the environment and highlights the key materials challenges.

Coorstek sensors was formed to develop manufacture and deliver unique ceramic based smart sensors to help improve the environment around us combining the unique technologies of emisense emission sensors and pegasor air quality monitors for continuous real time on board and stationary monitoring. Ceramic components for all kinds of sensors from ultra sensitive pressure and temperature sensors to oxygen and chemical sensors coorstek provides high performance ceramic components for world class performance in virtually any service condition or application including sensor elements and components for. Some porous electrodes require two mode distributions of pore sizes. Many electrodes used in electro chemical devices including gas purifiers gas sensors fuel cells and chemical analyzers are porous ceramics.

Potentiometric sensors make use of thermodynamic equilibration between the gas and the solid.
