    Abstract: An electrochemical detection system for determining a concentration of a gas in exhaust gases of a combustion process. The system includes an electrolyte, a reference electrode, and a sense electrode that cooperate to form an electrochemical sensor that exposes both the reference electrode and the sense electrode to the exhaust gases. The electrochemical sensor is configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a species concentration of a species gas in the exhaust gases. The sensor signal exhibits a transient error in response to a change in a reference concentration of a reference gas in the exhaust gases. The processor is configured to determine the species concentration based on the sensor signal, and to determine an estimate of the transient error based on an operating condition of the combustion process.

    Abstract: An electrochemical NO2 sensor includes a reference electrode, a sensing electrode having a sensing electrode material, and an electrolyte. The electrolyte is disposed between and in ionic communication with the sensing electrode and the reference electrode to form an NO2 sensing cell. The NO2 sensing cell produces an electromotive force when exposed to NO2. The sensing electrode material comprises a compound consisting essentially of Si and oxygen and expressed by ABD. Oxygen is element D, Si is element B, and element A includes one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mn, Co, and Fe.

    Abstract: An NO2 sensor comprises a sensing electrode material that includes a compound consisting essentially of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mn, Co, and Fe; an element selected from the group consisting of Si and Ti; and oxygen. In an alternate embodiment, the sensing electrode material includes a compound consisting essentially of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mn, Co, and Fe; an element selected from the group consisting of Si and Ti; an element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Al, Li, Na, and K; and oxygen. Sensors made with these sensing electrode materials demonstrate good NO2 sensitivity and reduced sensitivity to cross-interference from NO and NH3.
