Definitions
- the invention relates to a sensor, in particular an electrochemical sensor, with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
- Electrochemical sensors of the generic type are known. These electrochemical sensors comprise an electrochemical element which has an electrochemical pump cell with a preferably planar first solid electrolyte body and a first and second preferably porous electrode. These sensors further comprise an electrochemical sensor cell connected to the pump cell with a preferably planar second solid electrolyte body and a third and fourth preferably porous electrode, as well as a gas chamber that is connected to the measuring gas space via a gas inlet opening and a gas inlet channel and that is enclosed by the two solid electrolyte bodies, that is, located in an internal cavity Diffusion resistance Facility.
- the diffusion resistance device can contain a porous filling.
- the sample gas passes through the gas inlet opening and the gas inlet channel into the inner cavity, the first and second electrodes of the pumping cell regulating the inlet of the sample gas into the cavity and thus providing a controlled partial pressure of the gas component to be measured.
- the power supply for the electrochemical pump cell is provided by a device that is attached outside the electrochemical element.
- electrochemical sensor with an electrical heater that heats both the electrochemical pump cell and the electrochemical sensor cell in order to ensure a suitable working temperature of the electrochemical sensor.
- liquid components contained in the measurement gas for example gas drops in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine
- solid components for example soot particles
- the measured value determined by the electrochemical sensor can be falsified by an exhaust gas enriched with petrol ("rich" exhaust gas). If the gas access hole becomes blocked, the function of the electrochemical sensor can even be destroyed.
- the invention provides an electrochemical sensor for determining a gas concentration, for example an oxygen concentration, of a measurement gas, which has an electrochemical element, comprising an electrochemical pump cell with a first and second electrode and with a gas space, which is connected to the measurement gas via a gas access opening and in which one of the two electrodes is arranged, the gas access opening being covered with a porous cover.
- the invention offers the advantage that penetration of liquid and solid components contained in the measurement gas into the interior of the sensor, that is to say the internal cavity designated as the gas space, is prevented. This is done in that a porous layer is provided as a cover for the gas access opening on the surface of the electrochemical element facing the measuring gas space.
- This cover is permeable to the measuring gas, but represents a barrier to the liquid and solid components contained in the measuring gas.
- the stored liquid, for example gasoline, retained in this cover evaporates Switching on an advantageously to be provided heating quickly, so that only gasoline vapor from the inside of the electrochemical sensor must be displaced by the gas, for example oxygen, continuously pumped through the electrochemical pump cell.
- the invention further provides a method for producing such an electrochemical sensor, in which the gas access opening is first introduced and then closed by means of a cover layer.
- the porous cover is finally applied to this additional cover layer. This advantageously ensures that the porosity properties and thus the functionality of the electrochemical sensor are not impaired by the application of a porous cover.
- the cover layer can itself be porous, ie permeable to the measuring gas. However, materials that burn without residue or pore-forming materials are advantageously used for the cover layer by heat treatment.
- an additional porous protective membrane remains after completion of the electrochemical sensor according to the invention, preferably after sintering. For example, wax, carbon black, graphite or methylxanthines such as theobromine, theophylline or caffeine are suitable.
- the cover layer is preferably applied using transfer technology, while the porous cover is preferably applied using screen printing.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that a cavity is present in a gas access channel which is advantageously partially provided with a porous filling, that is to say between the cover provided above the gas access opening and a porous filling advantageously located in the inner cavity.
- the cavity prevents capillary transmission of the liquid gasoline from the cover according to the invention to the inner porous filling.
- This cavity which accordingly represents a separation between the porous cover and the porous filling located in the inner cavity, can preferably be formed by burning out sublimable material during sintering.
- the cover over the gas access opening is preferably formed from a porous material, which can be the continuation of a porous protective layer covering the entire surface of the electrochemical element facing the measuring gas space.
- the invention relates to two-cell sensors (broadband sensors) comprising a pump cell comprising a first solid electrolyte body and a concentration cell comprising a second solid electrolyte body.
- Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of an electrochemical sensor according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view corresponding to Figure 1 of a pre-body during manufacture.
- the electrochemical element 1 shows in a cross section an electrochemical sensor 1, comprising an electrochemical element 2, a voltage supply device 4 and a voltage measuring device 6.
- the electrochemical element 2 has an electrochemical pump cell 3, which consists of a first planar solid electrolyte body 5, a first porous electrode 7 and a second porous electrode 9 is constructed.
- the electrochemical element 2 also has an electrochemical sensor cell, hereinafter referred to as Nernst cell 27, which is composed of the second solid electrolyte body 29 and a third electrode 31 and a fourth electrode 33.
- the electrochemical pump cell 3 is supplied with voltage at the first and second electrodes 7, 9 by means of the external voltage supply device 4.
- the first and second solid electrolyte bodies 5, 29 are connected to one another and enclose an inner cavity 15, which is also referred to as a gas space 17.
- the inner cavity 15 is completely filled with a porous material 19 and contains the second and third electrodes 9, 31.
- the inner cavity 15 is connected to the measuring gas 13 via a gas access channel 10 and a gas access opening 11.
- a porous cover 24 is attached above the gas access opening 11 and is part of a porous protective layer 23 which covers a surface 8 of the first solid electrolyte body 5 facing the measuring gas 13 and thus also the first electrode 7 of the electrochemical pump cell 3.
- An additional porous protective membrane 34 is located between the porous cover 24 and the gas access opening 11.
- the second solid electrolyte body 29 has a reference gas space 21.
- the fourth electrode 33 which is exposed to a reference gas, is fitted in the reference gas space 21.
- the measuring gas 13 passes through the gas inlet opening 11 and the gas inlet channel 10 into the inner cavity 15, a controlled partial pressure being set by means of a pump voltage applied to the first and second electrodes 7, 9 of the pump cell 3 by pumping in or pumping out oxygen.
- the voltage supply of the electrochemical pump cell 3 is carried out by a voltage supply device 4 attached outside the electrochemical element 2.
- the cover 24 according to the invention and the cavity 25 located underneath prevent the penetration of liquid and solid fractions contained in the measurement gas, for example gasoline or soot particles, via the gas access opening 11 and the gas access channel 10 into the gas space 17.
- the cover 24 is part of a porous protective layer 23 executed, which is at least partially attached to the measuring gas 13 surface 8 of the first solid electrolyte body 5.
- This porous protective layer 23 is permeable to the measuring gas 13, but represents a barrier to the liquid and solid components contained in the measuring gas 13.
- the cavity 25 located under the cover 24 prevents capillary transmission of the gasoline via the gas access channel 10 to the internal cavity 15 or the gas space 17.
- the gasoline retained in the cover 24 evaporates quickly after switching on an advantageously provided, not shown, heating, so that only gasoline vapor from the inner cavity 15 of the electrochemical sensor 1 by the gas constantly pumped through the electrochemical pumping cell 3 , for example oxygen, must be displaced.
- the manufacture of the electrochemical sensor 1 is described below with reference to FIG. 2.
- the second solid electrolyte body 29 and the first solid electrolyte body 3 consist of ceramic materials which are produced by sintering a corresponding preceramic green body 41.
- the preceramic green body is produced by stacking individual flat preceramic green bodies 41A to 41E. During sintering, these green bodies 41A to 41E are converted into a one-piece ceramic body.
- the green bodies 41B, 41D, 41E have cutouts 42A, 42B which, after the sintering, represent the gas space 17 and the reference gas space 21, respectively.
- the electrodes are applied, for example printed, by coating the surfaces of the individual green bodies 4IC to 41E. This process is well known.
- the gas access channel 10 is introduced, e.g. B. drilled. It can also be done by other suitable techniques, e.g. B. punching the green body or laser treatment.
- the protective layer 23 is applied to the surface 8 facing the measuring gas, which at the same time serves as a cover 24 for the gas inlet opening 11 of the gas inlet channel 10.
- the protective layer is applied in the form of a sinterable paste 44 using the screen printing process. This paste 44 is converted to the porous protective layer 23 during the subsequent sintering.
- a cover layer in the form of a thin film 43 is applied by means of a transfer technology before the paste is printed on. That is, the film 43 is on a support.
- the Carrier is placed on the surface 8.
- the film 43 is transferred from the carrier to the surface 8 by the action of force.
- the cover layer 43 can also be formed by other technologies, e.g. B. in the form of a screen printing layer.
- the film 43 closes the gas inlet opening 11, so that the paste 44 can be printed on without problems, without it reaching the gas inlet channel 10.
- the film 43 burns without residue to form a cavity, or it forms an additional thin, porous protective membrane 34 through which the measuring gas 13 can diffuse freely into the gas access channel 10. This is shown in Figure 1.
- the film 43 can itself form the porous protective membrane 34 if it consists of a suitable material which is permeable to the measuring gas. Such a film would then not be changed by the sintering process. Such a film is also suitable for electrochemical sensors according to the invention which are not subjected to sintering or a similar heat treatment during manufacture.
