Novel gas sensing principles:

dosimeter–type gas sensors
thermoelectric gas sensors
zeolite–based gas sensors
low temperature mixed–potential–based sensors
pulsed polarization–type sensors

Preparation of functional materials: all types of multiscale powder preparation for gas sensors and catalysts, preparation of screen–printable pastes by three–roll mill
Characterization of materials: Scanning electron microscope SEM with EDX–System, optical microscopes and hot stage microscope, perthometer, pycnometer
Sensor preparation by thick film technology: high–precision printing, screen printing systems and thick–film furnace, laser patterning for fine line structures
Aerosol deposition (room temperature impact consolidation, RTIC)
Low–temperature co–fired ceramic (LTCC) technology: Frequency tripled Nd:YAG Laser, isostatic lamination press
Gas sensor characterization:
- 8 gas test benches for synthetic exhaust simulation
- Electrical characterization by high performance impedance spectroscopy (five machines), digital multimeters
- Electrochemical characterization (cyclovoltammetry; CV)
Characterization of catalyst behavior: gas analysis systems like FTIR, FID. CLD, NDIR, paramagnetic O2, UV–NH3 analysis
Characterization of catalysts by radio frequency (microwave–based)
Engine test bench – dynamometer (diesel and gasoline)
Simulation software (Comsol Multiphysics) with almost all modules for various purposes
