Abstract
A regeneration method for an electrochemical sensor (1), in which the sensor (1) includes at least two electrodes (2), the at least two electrodes (2) are operated in a first connection in a normal operation of the sensor (1). The regeneration method differs from the normal operation in terms of a modified connection of the at least two electrodes (2).
Claims20
A regeneration method for an electrochemical sensor (1), wherein the sensor (1) comprises at least two electrodes (2) that are operable in a first connection in a normal operation of the sensor (1), the regeneration method comprising:
- modifying a connection of the at least two electrodes (2) from the normal operation to form a modified connection of the at least two electrodes (2), and
- effecting at least one substance conversion at the at least two electrodes (2) with the modified connection which differs from the normal operation.
A sensor arrangement (8) having at least one electrochemical sensor (1), the at least one sensor (1) comprises:
- at least two electrodes (2);
- a connection device (7) for changing between at least first and second connections of the at least two electrodes (2), wherein the first connection of the at least two connections is configured for a normal operation and the second connection of the at least two electrodes is a modified connection configured for carrying out a regeneration method.
