Abstract

The present invention generally relates to carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor that incorporates lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) as an electrolyte and sensing electrode comprising a combination of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and barium carbonate (BaCO3). In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor has a reduced sensitivity to humidity due to a sensing electrode with a layered structure of lithium carbonate and barium carbonate. In still another embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of producing carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors having lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) as an electrolyte and sensing electrode comprising a combination of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and barium carbonate (BaCO3).
