The Technology behind ECnose

By introducing an ionic liquid into the polymer, a Solid Polymer Electrochemical Sensor was developed. 

This sensor has the advantages of both ionic liquids and polymers. First, the electrolyte has the properties of a solid electrolyte, which eliminates the problem of difficult sealing of the ionic liquid. Second, the introduction of ions in the polymer improves the ion conductivity of the polymer.

Solid polymer electrochemical sensing technology is a revolutionary technical innovation in the field of gas detection. This technology measures various volatile organic gases that can be chemically decomposed based on the principle of electrochemical gas detection and outputs a current signal or a digital signal corresponding to the gas concentration.
