Working Principle
Sensor adopt solid electrolyte cell Princip le£¬ It is composed by the following solid cells£º Air£¬ Au|NASICON|| carbonate|Au, air£¬ CO2 When the sensor exposed to CO2£¬ the following electrodes reaction occurs£º Cathodic reaction£º 2Li + + CO2 + 1/2O2 + 2e - = Li2CO3 Anodic reaction£º 2Na+ + 1/2O2 + 2e- = Na2O Overall chemical reaction£º Li2CO3 + 2Na + = Na2O + 2Li + + CO2 The Electromotive force £¨ EMF£© result from the above electrode reaction, accord with according to Nernst’ s equation:£º EMF = Ec - (R x T) / (2F) ln (P(CO2 )) P(CO2 )¡ª CO2--- partial Pressure Ec¡ª Constant Volume R¡ª Gas Constant volume T¡ª Absolute Temperature £¨ K£© F¡ª Faraday constant From Figure 1B£¬ Sensor Heating
