Working Principle

Description

The ME3-NH3 electrochemical sensor detects ammonia gas concentration by measuring current based on the electrochemical principle. This involves the electrochemical oxidation process of ammonia gas on the working electrode inside the electrolytic cell. The current produced in the electrochemical reaction of the target gas is directly proportional to its concentration, following Faraday's law.
