  • ELECTROCHEMICAL FUEL CELL, PROCESS FOR MAINTAINING AN ELECTROCHEMICAL FUEL CELL AND BREATH ALCOHOL MEASURING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20220326177
    Abstract: An electrochemical fuel cell measures ethanol in human breath and a process maintains such an electrochemical fuel cell. The electrochemical fuel cell includes a first electrode (1), a second electrode (2) and a third electrode (3). The first electrode (1) is used as a measuring electrode in a regular operating mode of the electrochemical fuel cell and as a measuring electrode or as a reference electrode in a maintenance mode of the electrochemical fuel cell. The second electrode (2) is used as a counter electrode in the regular operating mode of the electrochemical fuel cell and as a measuring electrode or as a reference electrode in the maintenance mode of the electrochemical fuel cell. The third electrode (3) is used as a counter electrode in the maintenance mode of the electrochemical fuel cell.

  • ELECTROCHEMICAL GAS SENSOR AND ELECTROLYTE FOR AN ELECTROCHEMICAL GAS SENSOR
    Publication number: 20200326299
    Abstract: An electrochemical gas sensor (10) includes a housing (20) and with at least one electrode (21, 22). The housing (20) has a gas inlet (23). An at least strongly acidic, liquid electrolyte (30) is present in the gas sensor (10). The electrolyte (30) partly wets the electrode (21, 22). Provisions are made in such a gas sensor (10) for the electrolyte (30) to contain an additive that contains at least one surfactant. An electrolyte (30) is also provided for a gas sensor (10), which electrolyte (30) contains at least one surfactant as an additive.
