Microfabricated Poly (Ionic Liquid) Based Electrochemical Oxygen Sensors for Modified Atmosphere Packaging — •Zoë Siebers, Alexey Yakushenko, Ryan Guterman, Maksim Bahdanchyk, Stefan Popović, Dejan Šegan, Petr Vlasov, and Qiang Wang — FaradaIC Sensors GmbH, Richard-Wagner-Straße 23, 10585 Berlin

The large size and high cost of current state-of-the-art oxygen sensors is the main impediment preventing millions of O2-sensors entering the Internet of the things (IoT) market. This includes the monitoring of millions of bulk packages of perishable food being transported across the planet under a modified or controlled atmosphere (MAP).

The key to miniaturization and mass fabrication of electrochemical amperometric O2-sensors is microfabrication. To reach such a goal, new special types of polymerized ionic liquid (poly (ionic liquid), PIL) electrolytes have been developed. These PILs are unique as they maintain high enough ionic conductivity after photopolymerization (up to 5 × 10−5 S/cm (24 C)) and combine gas sensitivity with photopatternability within a single substance.

With these novel materials, we have developed the first fully microfabricated sensor for electrochemical O2 sensing. With a size of 2 mm x 2 mm x 1 mm it is > × 100 more compact than commercial sensors.

We show that this sensor can be used to reliably measure O2 concentrations in the specific conditions found in MAP (0-21 % O2, 0−95 % relative humidity). An optimized readout algorithm is introduced to increase signal stability and sensor regeneration.
