Most commercially available optical oxygen sensors target the measuring range of 300 to 2 μmol L-1. However these are not suitable for investigating the nanomolar range which is relevant for many important environmental situations. We therefore developed a miniaturized phase fluorimeter based measurement system called the LUMOS (Luminescence Measuring Oxygen Sensor). It consists of a readout de...

Recent research has shown that control of the oxygen content in the catalyst has potential to further reduce the emissions from spark ignited engines. This gives rise to a cascade structure where an outer loop influences an inner loop. Different ways of augmenting the inner loop, a traditional PI-feedback controller based on feedback from the binary oxygen sensor, are studied. The SI-engine con...

Inspired by the enol-degradation of luciferin, a new oxygen sensor with oppositely changed color and fluorescence has been designed. This new reaction-based dual mode sensor can not only be used as a highly selective instant "fluorescence on" oxygen probe, but also as a freshness indicator of food or food materials by using its property of time-adjustable color fading.

A flexible oxygen sensor based on individual ZnO nanowires is demonstrated with high sensitivity at room temperature and the influence of the piezotronic effect on the performance of this oxygen sensor is investigated. By applying a tensile strain, the already very high sensitivity due to the Schottky contact and pre-treatment of UV light is even further enhanced.

We describe a novel oxygen polarization sensor based on a single molecule that changes the observed anisotropy of its emission with variation of the oxygen concentration. The approach is demonstrated both in solution and in solid films. A simple mathematical description of the sensor is included and experimentally verified. The technique demonstrated here creates opportunity for development of ...

This paper describes the response characteristics of a Clark type oxygen sensor using microelectrodes under a variety of operating conditions. The silicon based microelectrodes were fabricated using a CMOS process with Pt surface using a lift-off process. The Clark type sensor was configured using a threeelectrode system. A set of four operating conditions with varying activation voltages, the ...
