Vehicle tail gas Oxynitride sensor chip is to be formed by stacking by six layers of zirconium oxide substrate at present, as
" gas sensor, NOx sensor and the method for manufacture gas sensor " (US20090242400)
Patented technology and " method of correction NOx sensor output signal " (US20080237064) patent
Technology, described patented technology by three electrochemistry oxygen pumps, two chambers, reference air duct,
One adds thermal resistance, lead-in wire and eight pins and constitutes, and three electrochemistry oxygen pumps are main pump, auxiliary respectively
Pump and measure pump, main pump at the first chamber, donkey pump and measure pump at the second chamber, the first chamber and
Linking with slit in the middle of second chamber, population structure is complicated.
The operation principle of this Oxynitride sensor chip is that tail gas is first introduced to the first chamber, and by
All of oxygen taken out by main pump;It is then introduced into the second chamber and is taken out further in tail gas by donkey pump
Oxygen, makes oxygen concentration in tail gas be down to extremely low;Then the nitrogen oxides in tail gas is measuring the activation of pump
It is decomposed into oxygen and nitrogen under electrode effect, draws corresponding nitrogen oxygen finally by the carrying current measuring pump
The content of compound.This Oxynitride sensor chip structure is complicated, and cost of manufacture is highly difficult greatly.

Sensors and Actuators B 154 (2011) 106 110), this NOx sensor is based on electrification
Learn principle, use zirconic ionic conductivity, and zirconium oxide is printed on alumina substrate,
Zirconic both sides print activated electrode and disactivation electrode respectively, and at activated electrode and disactivation electricity
The sensor signal of telecommunication is done by extremely upper one layer of Catalytic Layer of covering to get rid of carbon monoxide and Hydrocarbon
Disturb, thus improve the sensor selectivity to nitrogen oxides.But this novel nitrogen oxide sensor
Yet suffer from deficiency: this novel nitrogen oxide sensor yet suffers from asking in the selection of electrode material
Topic, causes its signal easily to be disturbed by carbon monoxide in vehicle exhaust and Hydrocarbon;This
Integrated oxygen sensor is not had on the substrate of novel nitrogen oxide sensor, it require that at oxygen sensor
Cooperation under work, cause during actually used cost to increase.On the other hand, active electrode
I.e. enabling and fully decompose NO, the working sensor of electric potential difference type is at quasi-balanced state, and resolution ratio is by O2
Concentration and the impact of NO concentration, analytical calculation is extremely difficult.
By contrast, the oxygen sensor of limit-current type flows down at stable state oxygen and is operated, and builds activation
Form double cell with disactivation electrode with to electrode, disactivation electrode only pumps out in tested atmosphere
O2Activated electrode pumps out the O in tested atmosphere the most simultaneously2Gained O is decomposed with NO2, corresponding
Carrying current also have difference, thus measure O the most easily2Content with NO.
