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

该小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发多层陶瓷阻抗传感器，用于化学和环境应用中的NOx监测。 竞争传感器有几个性能差距，提出的传感器可以帮助克服，即-高成本，响应时间差，稳定性差，选择性差，可逆性差，灵敏度差，和脆弱性。在第一阶段，纳米材料研究公司将建立概念验证，商业上需要的，纳米工程阻抗传感器可以准备和传感器提供显着的性能优势。第二阶段将优化和生产包装原型，而第三阶段将使该技术商业化。 这一努力还可能有助于推出一系列用于低成本化学成分监测的传感器。

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.
