Influence of Three Diffusion Paths on the Pump Signal in ZrO2-Based NOx Sensor

Article Preview

Abstract:

A thick film ZrO2-based NOx sensor feasible for diesel and gasoline engine applications has three diffusion paths, the size of paths has a great influence on sensor signal output. This paper studies the relationship between the pump current signal and the size of paths, the manufacture of NOx sensors of varied path sizes by the method of filling organics and then sintering at a high temperature to form a stable path, and detections of the sensors in a standard gas chamber. Then matching sizes of three paths are obtained.
