By using specialised services and established equipment, MCN will investigate the key characteristics such as crystalinity, particle size, surface area, porosity, thickness and surface chemistry of the PeCOD® sensors. Assessing the characteristics of effective sensors will provide insight into the failure mechanisms and causes of performance reduction of the devices in service. This knowledge will then be integrated into both the optimisation of the manufacturing process and the fundamental understanding of the sensor operation. This will then inform the implemention of a cost-effective characterisation system for ongoing quality control within the manufacturing process.
