The Technical Challenges of Electrochemical Gas Sensing
Developing gas sensing systems of the future presents many challenges to overcome. They must accurately measure much lower concentrations, be more selective toward the target gases, operate for longer durations from battery power and provide consistent performance over longer periods of time while always maintaining safe and reliable operation. But where to start?
