Surface Analysis of IAQ VOC sensors


EMSL Project ID
9606

Abstract

IAQ sensors are used to detect low levels of volatile organic compounds in air. The sensors use an meatl oxide semiconductor later with a WO3 catalysts on an alumina substrate. The conductivity of the sensor increases when exposed to VOC gasses. The purpose of this study is to try to determine the cause of some sensor falures.
