Definition

A type of air sensor where the target gas interacts with an electrode thereby producing an electrical current that is proportional to the concentration of the target gas.

Definition and Description

An electrochemical sensor is a type of device that detects and measures chemical substances or analytes by leveraging chemical reactions that occur at electrodes in contact with a solution. These sensors utilize the electrical signals generated during these chemical processes to quantitatively determine the concentration of specific analytes, such as gases or ions. Electrochemical sensors are commonly used in various applications, including environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, and industrial processes, due to their accuracy, sensitivity, and ability to provide real-time data.
