Influence of vacuum sublimation deposited metal layer thickness on metrological parameters of the amperometric gas sensor with Nafion membrane

The paper presents the results of investigation on an influence of vacuum sublimation deposited platinum layer thickness on the signal, sensitivity and response time of a prototype of sulphur dioxide sensor with Nafion membrane. The working electrode was made by vacuum sublimation deposition of platinum on a surface of Nafion membrane. Pt layers deposited changed an initial structure of Nafion membrane and that phenomenon was utilized in the impedance measurements. A diffusion of the analyte to an inactive electrode was observed on the impedance spectra. An electrical equivalent circuit for analysis of the impedance spectra was proposed. Following the evolution of particular electrical elements enabled determination of the optimum thickness of deposited platinum.
