Abstract

Establishing a test bench for gas sensor characterization is essential to ensure that the developed sensors are efficient, reliable, and suitable for their intended application, while also promoting technological advancements in gas detection. This bench primarily aims to evaluate and analyse sensor performance under controlled conditions. The main objectives include measuring sensitivity, selectivity, response time, and stability when exposed to varying concentrations of target gases, which is crucial for determining their effectiveness in real-world conditions. This work aims to summarize the main achievements in designing and developing an experimental laboratory bench, controlled and managed by an Arduino Uno acquisition module. This gas sensor characterization bench facilitates sensor calibration and the determination of an unknown gas sensor's characteristics based on those of a well-defined sensor.
