Rational Design of Amperometric Gas Sensors with Ionic Liquid Electrolytes

We discuss here further issues in the application of room temperature ionic liquid electrolytes to printed amperometric gas sensors. The main issue addressed is design of the amperometric gas sensor, relative to selection of optimal ionic liquid electrolytes for the realization of new gas sensors with superior properties of robustness, stability, sensitivity and limit of detection. Examples are provided in the context of ammonia monitoring.
