Working principle of ozone(O3) sensor

    The working principle of ozone sensor is mainly based on the combination of chemical reaction and physical effect. Among them, electrochemical sensor is a more common type. This type of sensor works through a fuel cell element composed of a sensing electrode and a negative electrode. When ozone gas enters the sensor, a chemical reaction occurs at the sensing electrode, generating a current or voltage signal proportional to the ozone concentration. This electrochemical process does not require complicated maintenance and can work stably for a long time.

The structure of ozone sensor

    Although the structure of ozone sensor varies according to the type, the basic structure is roughly similar. Electrochemical sensors are usually composed of sensing electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte solution and shell. The sensing electrode is the place where the chemical reaction occurs, and the negative electrode is used as the reference electrode. The two together constitute the measurement circuit. Semiconductor sensors are mainly composed of sensitive elements, heating elements, signal processing circuits, etc. Among them, the sensitive element is the key component responsible for converting the ozone concentration into an electrical signal. The ultraviolet absorption type ozone analyzer includes ultraviolet light source, light wave filter, photoelectric sensor and signal processing system.

The role of ozone sensor

    The main function of ozone sensor is to monitor and detect the ozone concentration in the air. As an important component in the atmosphere, ozone is beneficial to the high-altitude stratosphere to protect the earth from ultraviolet damage, but when the concentration near the ground is too high, it will cause harm to human health, ecological environment and crop growth. Therefore, accurate monitoring of ozone concentration is of great significance for environmental protection, human health and agricultural production.

Application of ozone sensor

Industrial environment 

    In industrial processes such as chemical industry, papermaking, printing and dyeing, the generation of ozone is inevitable. Ozone sensors can monitor the ozone concentration in these industrial environments in real time to ensure operator safety and prevent equipment damage. At the same time, through data analysis, companies can optimize production processes, reduce ozone emissions, and achieve green production.

Environmental monitoring

    The environmental protection department uses ozone sensors to monitor the ozone concentration in the atmosphere in real time to assess air quality. These data provide a scientific basis for the government to formulate environmental protection policies and implement pollution control. With haze occurring frequently and air quality receiving increasing attention today, the application of ozone sensors is particularly important.

Laboratory research

    In the field of scientific research, ozone sensors provide researchers with a high-precision means of measuring ozone concentration. Whether researchers in environmental science, chemical engineering or materials science, they can use ozone sensors to conduct in-depth research and promote scientific and technological progress in related fields.


    As one of the important achievements of modern science and technology, ozone sensors play an irreplaceable role in many fields such as environmental protection, industrial safety, scientific research and health care with their unique working principle, sophisticated structure, wide application and important role. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of applications, ozone sensors will play a more important role in the future.
