Abstract
Description
本発明は、ガス透過性膜に形成した酸化触媒を作用極としてガスの濃度を検出する電気化学式ガスセンサに関する。 The present invention relates to an electrochemical gas sensor that detects a gas concentration using an oxidation catalyst formed on a gas permeable membrane as a working electrode.
電気化学式ガスセンサは、撥水性を備えた通気性多孔質膜に導電性酸化触媒層を形成した作用極と、対極、及び参照極とを電解液に浸漬して構成されている。
導電性酸化触媒層としては通常、白金黒が使用されているが、選択性が低く、特にマスタードやルイサイトなどの糜爛性ガスに対する感度が低く、これらのガスに対する感度の向上を求められていた。
The electrochemical gas sensor is configured by immersing a working electrode in which a conductive oxidation catalyst layer is formed on a breathable porous membrane having water repellency, a counter electrode, and a reference electrode in an electrolytic solution.
Platinum black is usually used as the conductive oxidation catalyst layer, but the selectivity is low, especially the sensitivity to the inert gases such as mustard and lewisite is low, and the improvement of the sensitivity to these gases has been demanded. .
本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたものであってその目的とするところは糜爛性ガスを選択的かつ高い感度で検出することができる電気化学式ガスセンサを提供することである。
本発明の他の目的は上記電気化学式ガスセンサに適した作用極を提供することである。
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electrochemical gas sensor that can selectively detect an inert gas with high sensitivity.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a working electrode suitable for the electrochemical gas sensor.
このような課題を達成するために本発明においては、作用極と、対極とを電解液に浸漬して構成された電気化学式ガスセンサにおいて、前記作用極が炭素繊維からなるシート状の基材の平均粒径4ナノメートル以下の金(Au)の粒子を分散、保持させて構成されている。 In order to achieve such a problem, in the present invention, in an electrochemical gas sensor configured by immersing a working electrode and a counter electrode in an electrolytic solution, the working electrode is an average of a sheet-like base material made of carbon fiber. It consists of dispersed and held gold (Au) particles with a particle size of 4 nanometers or less.
本発明によれば、マスタードガスのような糜爛性ガスを高い選択性と感度で検出することができる。 According to the present invention, an inert gas such as mustard gas can be detected with high selectivity and sensitivity.
本発明の詳細を図示した実施例に基づいて説明する。
図中符号10は、本発明が特徴とする作用極部材で、電解液24を収容するケース20のガス取り入れ口21に液密状態で固定されており、被測定ガスの濃度に応じて対極22との間に電解電流を生じるように構成されている。なお図中符号23は参照極である。
Details of the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiments.
作用極部材10は、例えば炭素繊維をパンチングや圧縮によりシート状に形成して構成された導電性と通気性を有する基材11と、この基材を構成する繊維の間に平均粒径4ナノメートル以下の金(Au)の粒子12を分散、保持させて構成されている。
なお、必要に応じて電解液の漏れを防止するために被測定ガス流入側に通気性と撥水性を備えた多孔質シート13を密着させてもよい。
The working
If necessary, a porous sheet 13 having air permeability and water repellency may be adhered to the measured gas inflow side in order to prevent leakage of the electrolyte.
上記金の粒子を分散、保持させる方法は、塩化金酸をNaBH4により還元して加熱により平均粒径4ナノメートルまで成長させて粒子状とし、この金粒子を揮発性を有する液体、例えばトルエンに懸垂させて基材11に均一に含浸させ、最後に300℃程度に加熱して液体を揮散させ工程からなる。 The gold particles are dispersed and retained by reducing chloroauric acid with NaBH4 and growing to an average particle size of 4 nanometers by heating to form particles. The process consists of a process of suspending and uniformly impregnating the base material 11 and finally heating to about 300 ° C. to volatilize the liquid.
このように分散された金粒子12は、基材を構成する各繊維11aの表面に分散し、繊維は金粒子により修飾されていることが透過電子顕微鏡(TEM)により確認できた。 The gold particles 12 thus dispersed were dispersed on the surface of each fiber 11a constituting the substrate, and it was confirmed by a transmission electron microscope (TEM) that the fiber was modified with the gold particles.
次に厚さ0.3mmの基材を0.1g用意し、これに金粒子の修飾量を異ならせた作用極部材を製作してセンサとしてのベースラインドリフト、及び被測定ガス(マスタードガス)に対する感度との関係を調査したところそれぞれ図2(a)、及び図2(b)のような結果となった。 Next, 0.1 g of a 0.3 mm-thick base material is prepared, and a working electrode member with a different amount of gold particle modification is manufactured on this to produce a baseline drift as a sensor and sensitivity to the gas to be measured (mustard gas). As a result, the results shown in FIG. 2 (a) and FIG. 2 (b) were obtained.
すなわち、図2(a)からも明らかなように金粒子の修飾量とベースラインドリフトとはほぼ比例関係にあり、また図2(b)からも明らかなようにマスタードガスに対して最大感度を示す金粒子の修飾量は厚さ0.3mm、0.1gの基材に換算して1μgがピークであることが判明した。 That is, as is clear from FIG. 2 (a), the modification amount of the gold particles and the baseline drift are almost proportional, and as is clear from FIG. 2 (b), the maximum sensitivity to the mustard gas is obtained. The modification amount of the gold particles shown was found to be 1 μg peak when converted to a base material having a thickness of 0.3 mm and 0.1 g.
すなわち、金粒子の修飾量とS/N比との関係は、図3に示すように厚さ0.3mm、0.1gの基材に対して金粒子0.5μgがピークであることがわかった。 That is, the relationship between the modification amount of the gold particles and the S / N ratio was found to have a peak of 0.5 μg of gold particles with respect to a substrate having a thickness of 0.3 mm and 0.1 g as shown in FIG.
これらの結果を踏まえて厚さ0.3mm、0.1gの基材に金粒子を0.5μg程度分散させた作用極部材を製作してマスタードガスに対する応答性、及び直線性を調査した。応答性は、図4に示すように白金黒を使用した通常の電気化学式ガスセンサよりも速かった。 Based on these results, a working electrode member in which about 0.5 μg of gold particles was dispersed in a base material having a thickness of 0.3 mm and 0.1 g was manufactured, and the response to the mustard gas and the linearity were investigated. As shown in FIG. 4, the responsiveness was faster than a normal electrochemical gas sensor using platinum black.
一方、マスタードガスの濃度と検出値は、図5に示すようにほぼ直線性を維持することが確認できた。 On the other hand, it was confirmed that the concentration of the mustard gas and the detected value remained almost linear as shown in FIG.
最後に各種ガスに対する干渉性を調査したところ表1のような結果となった。すなわち大気中に存在するCO、NO、NO2、SO2、Cl2、NH3などのガスに対してはきわめて感度が低く、また半導体材料ガス(AsH3、B2H6、PH3、SiH4)に対しても感度も低かった。このことからマスタードを高い感度と選択性で検出できることが確認できた。 Finally, when the interference with various gases was investigated, the results shown in Table 1 were obtained. That is, the sensitivity was very low for gases such as CO, NO, NO2, SO2, Cl2, and NH3 present in the atmosphere, and the sensitivity was also low for semiconductor material gases (AsH3, B2H6, PH3, SiH4). . This confirmed that mustard can be detected with high sensitivity and selectivity.
なお、上述の実施例においては電解液の漏洩を確実に防止するため被測定ガス流入側に撥水性を備えた通気性多孔質膜を配置しているが、導電性基材が十分な撥水性を備えている場合には不要であることは明らかである。また上述の実施例においては参照極を備えた3極式について説明したが、作用極部材と対極だけの2極式のガスセンサの作用極として使用しても同様の作用効果を奏することを確認した。 In the above-described embodiment, a breathable porous film having water repellency is disposed on the measured gas inflow side in order to surely prevent leakage of the electrolyte, but the conductive base material has sufficient water repellency. Obviously, it is not necessary if Further, in the above-described embodiment, the three-pole type provided with the reference electrode has been described. However, it was confirmed that the same effect can be obtained even when used as a working electrode of a two-pole type gas sensor having only a working electrode member and a counter electrode. .
