ORION Srl
Key word: air monitoring/air monitoring sensors
The active surface of the sensor is based on a specific nano-structured semiconductor metal oxide.
The first reaction which happens on the surface of the sensor is the adsorption of atmospheric oxygen with consequent charge transfer from semiconductor to oxygen molecules. The second reaction is related to specific gas to monitor, which while reacts with adsorbed oxygen (through Red-Ox reactions) allows the electrons to be released in the conduction band of the semiconductor.
Taking the current signals from the sensors during these reactions, the direct concentration of the specific gas can be measured. Selectivity and sensitivity are reached using special doped semiconductor metal oxides, in addition, the stability and no consumption of active surface guarantees long term high repeatability and low maintenance needs.

Innovative solution/technology
SENS-IT sensors are innovative, compact and low cost devices for environmental air quality monitoring. Based on “UniTec” (a brand of ORION SRL) proprietary technology - Thick Film Metal Oxide Semiconductor Technology (TF-MOS) - each SENS-IT sensor is specific for a single pollutant gas (CO, NO2, O3, C6H6 …) with extremely high sensitivity and selectivity (also at low ppb levels).The active surface of the sensor is based on a specific nano-structured semiconductor metal oxide.
The first reaction which happens on the surface of the sensor is the adsorption of atmospheric oxygen with consequent charge transfer from semiconductor to oxygen molecules. The second reaction is related to specific gas to monitor, which while reacts with adsorbed oxygen (through Red-Ox reactions) allows the electrons to be released in the conduction band of the semiconductor.
Taking the current signals from the sensors during these reactions, the direct concentration of the specific gas can be measured. Selectivity and sensitivity are reached using special doped semiconductor metal oxides, in addition, the stability and no consumption of active surface guarantees long term high repeatability and low maintenance needs.
