Abstract
A moisture regulating electrochemical sensor includes a sensor electrolyte housed in a chamber of a casing configured with electrodes connected electrically to the sensor electrolyte and configured to be connected electrically to an exterior circuit, an inlet, a vent, and a membrane permeable only to moisture, the chamber between the inlet and the vent each to the sensor electrolyte in the chamber, the inlet allowing a target gas to pass through from an exterior target gas environment to the sensor electrolyte in the chamber, and the membrane operatively coupled to the vent, allowing only moisture to translate through the vent between an exterior vent environment and the sensor electrolyte in the chamber.
