Abstract in another language

The present work describes a novel selective NH3 sensor principle with a high potential for longterm stability in harsh exhaust environments. The sensor is based on the well-known mixed potential effect. In contrast to common sensors, the electrode functionalities electrical conductivity and selective catalytic activity combined with long-term stability are separated. Therefore, one of the two electrodes is covered by a well-known porous SCR catalyst material, which has been developed for exhaust gas SCR applications. Two SCR coatings (Fe-ZSM5 and vanadia-tungsten oxide-titania) are investigated. The resulting sensor signal depends semi-logarithmically on ammonia. The NO cross-sensitivity is marginal.
