SBIR Phase I: Multilayered Ceramic Impedance Sensors for Detection of Nitrogen Oxides

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发用于化学和环境应用的氮氧化物监测的多层陶瓷阻抗传感器。竞争性传感器有几个性能差距，这些差距可能有助于克服，即高成本、低响应时间、低稳定性、低选择性、低可逆性、低灵敏度和脆弱性。在第一阶段，纳米材料研究公司将建立商业所需的概念验证，纳米工程阻抗传感器可以制备，并且传感器具有显着的性能优势。第二阶段将优化和生产包装原型，而第三阶段将使技术商业化。这一努力也可能有助于推出一整套低成本化学成分监测传感器。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop multilayered ceramic impedance sensors for NOx monitoring in chemical and environmental applications. Competitive sensors have several performance gaps that the proposed sensors may help overcome, namely - high costs, poor response times, poor stability, poor selectivity, poor reversibility, poor sensitivity, and fragility. During Phase I, Nanomaterials Research Corporation will establish the proof-of-concept that commercially desired, nano-engineered impedance sensors can be prepared and that the sensors offer significant performanceadvantages. Phase II will optimize and produce packaged prototypes, while Phase III will commercialize the technology. This effort may also help launch a whole family of sensors for low-cost chemical composition monitoring.
