SBIR Phase I: Ozone Sensor for Environmental Monitoring

* 9661410普罗哈斯卡 该项目将评估一种小型化臭氧传感器的可行性，以分辨大气中十亿分之一的浓度变化。该建议是基于最近的一项突破，该突破利用已建立的传感器技术与固态大规模生产技术相结合，以形成具有上级测量能力的低成本小型化传感器。这种高分辨率设备的开发需要详细了解传感材料、测量和制造工艺以及信号失真的可能原因。拟议的第I期研究旨在为成功的第II期开发提供所需的信息和数据。 在第二阶段，计划将臭氧传感器与其他微型有毒气体传感器集成，即。对于氮氧化物和二氧化硫，高选择性，低成本，低能耗，重量轻，多传感器设备的环境监测。计划与在环境和安全市场建立的公司合作伙伴一起进行第二阶段产品开发，并将支持第三阶段产品工程和制造转移。 ***

*** 9661410 Prohaska This project will evaluate the feasibility of a miniaturized ozone sensor for the resolution of parts per billion (ppb) concentration changes in the atmosphere. The proposal is based on a recent breakthrough which utilizes established sensor technology in combination with solid-state mass production techniques to form low-cost miniaturized sensors with superior measurement capabilities. The development of this high-resolution device will require detailed understanding of sensing materials, measurement and fabrication processes, as well as possible causes for signal distortions. The proposed Phase I studies are designed to provide necessary information and data for a successful Phase II development. During Phase II it is planned to integrate the ozone sensor with other miniaturized toxic gas sensors, ie. for nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, onto highly selective, low-cost, low-energy consuming, light weight, multiple sensor devices for environmental monitoring. Phase II product development is planned to be performed together with corporate partners who are established in the environmental and safety market, and will support the Phase III product engineering and manufacturing transfer. ***
