ABSTRACT

Figure 7.1 broadly represents the zirconia gas sensor development chart covering the range of activities from the scientific concept of measuring the selected gaseous component to the engineering developments required to deliver the devices, instruments, and control systems. Researchers working in the application environment (i.e., delivering scientific and engineered solutions) are most commonly exposed to the industrial sensor needs and interests. At the same time, the existence of integrated technology solutions facilitates the transfer of information to staff working on the development or improvement of appropriate sensing mechanisms and devices. In detail, the main stages of zirconia gas sensor development can be considered as follows.
