This lecture covers the basic concepts of chemical sensors, including the conversion between moles and mass, molar mass, and concentrations. It also explains the principles of catalytic gas sensors, catalyzed activation, and the role of catalysts in reducing energy barriers. The operation and modelization of thermal sensors, as well as the measuring circuit and ways to improve selectivity, are discussed.
