Background
The gas sensor is a converter which converts the volume fraction of a certain gas into a corresponding electric signal, can be used for identifying the gas type and detecting the gas concentration, can be used for the real-time detection of inflammable, explosive and toxic gases, and has wide application in the fields of environmental monitoring, medical diagnosis, national defense and military and the like. In order to effectively prevent the safety problem caused by gas leakage, people put forward higher requirements on the detection precision, selectivity and operation reliability of the gas sensor, and the gas-sensitive property of the gas sensor under the atmosphere with different temperatures, different humidities and different concentrations is required to be tested, so that new challenges are provided for the construction of a gas-sensitive test and a gas-sensitive material research and development system.
In the gas sensitive test, the conventional research method is to provide the sum of various microscopic information of a test system under the same condition, and it is difficult to accurately identify each reactant, intermediate product and the like of a complex system. With the development of the spectroscopic technology, the in-situ spectroscopic technology has become one of the effective means for studying various complex systems. In-situ spectroscopy technologies such as diffuse reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), Micro-Raman spectroscopy (Micro-Raman), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and the like acquire some valuable surface reaction information by tracking and characterizing the on-site reaction adsorption state on a sample to be detected, and further analyze the reaction mechanism, and the in-situ characterization technology is increasingly paid attention. The spectrum of a sample is subjected to in-situ analysis, the gas-sensitive action mechanism of each component in a system and the interaction mechanism among the components can be explored, the generation of a reactant and the change of the reactant along with temperature, pressure, time and the like can be dynamically monitored, the adsorption, desorption and catalytic reaction of molecules in gas or liquid on the surface of a solid material can be studied in situ, and the in-situ analysis has an unique effect on the change rule of the performance of a gas-sensitive material of a test gas sensor along with the temperature, the pressure, the time, the gas type and the concentration.
However, due to the limitations of optical path layout and spatial layout, the conventional in-situ spectrum cell cannot introduce a probe for electrical test, and cannot simultaneously perform electrical characteristic test and in-situ spectrum analysis in the gas-sensitive performance test of the gas sensor, so that the electrical characteristic analysis and the material surface change analysis of the gas-sensitive material are forced to be performed separately, environmental parameters and electrical parameters cannot be obtained simultaneously, and the performance test work of the gas-sensitive sensor is greatly disturbed due to the influence of external factors (such as temperature, pressure, gas concentration and the like) on repeated experiments. Therefore, it is important to improve and develop the original test device, and to research and design a gas sensor performance test device with high reliability and more test functions.
