ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the detection and measurement of an object gas is disclosed. Such an apparatus comprises a sensing electrode having a catalytic surface, a counter electrode having a catalytic surface, an electrolyte in electrical contact with the sensing electrode and the counter electrode, a reference electrode in contact with the electrolyte and the sensing electrode, a means for supplying an electrical potential between the sensing electrode and the reference electrode and a means for measuring the current flow resulting from the reaction of the object gas with the sensing electrode by way of the sensing electrode substrate to the counter electrode substrate. The substrate, which supports the catalytic sensing electrode and counter electrode materials being electrically conductive carbon or graphite, which allows the electrons generated at the sensing electrode catalytic surface to be removed through the substrate instead of from the surface.
