AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the hazards presented by the presence of various target gases, the threshold level used to trigger an alarm may be relatively low, and the cross-sensitivity due to the presence of interference may be high enough to generate false alarms (e.g. false positives) of the target gas sensor

Abstract

An electrochemical formaldehyde sensor (10) and a method of detecting formaldehyde are disclosed. The electrochemical formaldehyde sensor (10) may comprise a housing (12); an electrolyte disposed within the housing (12); and a plurality of electrodes in contact with the electrolyte within the housing (12), wherein the plurality of electrodes comprise a working electrode (24) comprising iridium andan applied potential of between approximately 0.9 to 1 V relative to a reversible hydrogen electrode; and a counter electrode (16). The cross-sensitivity of the sensor (10) to alcohols is less than approximately 25% of the sensitivity to formaldehyde.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] Not applicable. [0003] Statement Regarding Federally Sponsored Research or Development [0004] Not applicable. [0005] References to the Microfiche Addendum [0006] Not applicable. Background technique [0007] Electrochemical gas sensors generally include electrodes in contact with an electrolyte for detecting gas concentrations. The electrodes are electrically coupled to external circuitry through leads coupled to connector pins. When the gas contacts the electrolyte and electrodes, a reaction can occur that can create a potential difference between the electrodes and / or cause an electrical current to flow between the electrodes. The generated signal can be related to the gas concentration in the environment. [0008] While monitoring for the presence of various gases, other gases can be present which can also react within the sensor. For example, the working electrode can include a catalyst that can cataly...
