Electrochemical gas sensor for, and method of, detecting prussic acid

An electrochemical gas sensor 1 for the detection of prussic acid (HCN) in a gas sample comprises a housing 2, measuring electrode 3 of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and a counter-electrode 8 in an electrolyte 9, which comprises lithium bromide (LiBr) in aqueous solution. Electrodes 3, 8 and reference elec...

More Information
Summary:An electrochemical gas sensor 1 for the detection of prussic acid (HCN) in a gas sample comprises a housing 2, measuring electrode 3 of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and a counter-electrode 8 in an electrolyte 9, which comprises lithium bromide (LiBr) in aqueous solution. Electrodes 3, 8 and reference electrode 6 are connected to potentiostat 16 which measures the potential at measuring electrode 3.
