Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020211890A1] The invention relates to a gas sensor for selectively detecting and/or measuring acetylene and/or ethylene, comprising: - a substrate; - an electrode pair; - a gas-sensitive layer, which consists of at least one metal oxide from the group ReFeO3 and has contact with the electrode pair; - a heating element; and - a control device, characterized in that the heating element can be heated alternately to at least two different temperatures in the range of 150°C - 250°C, 200°C - 300°C or 250°C - 350°C by means of the control device. In particular, the gas-sensitive layer contains at least one metal oxide from the group LaFeO3, SmFeO3, EuFeO3 or GdFeO3. The invention also relates to a method for selectively detecting and/or measuring acetylene and/or ethylene, in which method the measurement or detection occurs at a gas-sensitive layer of metal oxide from the group ReFeO3 alternately at at least two different temperatures. The gas sensor and the method can be used, for example, to detect gases in transformer oil and to measure the concentration of said gases, or to determine the degree of ripeness of fruits and vegetables.
