SBIR Phase II: Ozone Sensor for Environmental Monitoring

这项小企业创新研究（SBIR）二期提案旨在开发高分辨率、低成本、低重量、低能耗、稳定的传感器。用于臭氧环境监测的十亿分之一（ppb）分辨率。校准曲线表明，该装置将在要求的范围内以线性模式运行，并且可以可靠地测量小于5 ppb03的浓度变化。一期研究了短期稳定性、温湿度影响、臭氧浓度敏感性和干扰气体信号，取得了令人鼓舞的结果。在第二阶段，传感器和监视器原型的开发将控制可生产性、灵敏度寿命和传感器集成到多参数设备，并将扩展为商业上可行的小型化设备，可以与第三阶段的目标合作伙伴一起生产。最初的目标是环境监测和工业安全市场，预计在数百万美元的范围内。对办公室和家庭臭氧监测的极大兴趣可能产生远远超过最初市场规模的市场。成本效益估计有力地支持了拟议的臭氧传感器开发。此外，传感器的小型化将开辟新的产品应用。

9801485GINERThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II proposal is directed at the development of high-resolution, low-cost, low-weight, low-energy-consuming, stable sensors w;th parts per billion (ppb)resolution for environmental monitoring of ozone. Calibration curves show that the device will operate in a linear mode over the required range, and that concentration changes of less than 5 ppb 03 can be measured reliably. Short-term stability, temperature and humidity influences, the ozone concentration sensitivity as well as interfering gas signals were investigated in Phase I with encouraging results. In Phase ll, sensor and monitor prototype development to control producibility, sensitivity life, and sensor integration to multi-parameter devices will be expanded with a commercially viable miniaturized device that can be produced with a Phase lll partner, targeted. Initially targeted environmental monitoring and industrial safety markets are expected to be in the multi-million dollar range. Significant interest in ozone monitoring in offices and homes could generate markets far exceeding the volume of the initial markets. Cost-benefit estimations strongly support the proposed ozone sensor development. In addition sensor miniaturization will open up new product applications.
