Abstract
The Internet of things [IoT] will make the impact of air quality [AQ] sensors immense on both quality and length of human life. To reach the IoT applications, improved sensors are required with a uniquely disruptive set of characteristics that include imultaneous performance while being tiny low cost and long life with virtually no maintenance. We report here the applications of the amperometric gas sensor or AGS [1] in sensor systems that will impact human health and environmental measurements. Sensor evaluations are the key component in both sensor research and sensor applications. Operando Methods [2] are a good example of sensor characterizations that lead to understanding sensor mechanisms while comprehensive environmental measurements are used to predict performance in specific applications [3]. Both approaches can aid understanding of the mechanism of operation of a sensor and lead to advances in research materials and devices. The predictive power of the latter characterization approach provides a path to market success and will link the sensor to applications for the benefit of society.
