1. An electrochemical gas sensor comprising:

  • a substrate having a surface;

    a reference sensor having a first counter electrode, first sensing electrode, and first reference electrode deposited on said surface;

    an active sensor having a second counter electrode, second sensing electrode, and second reference electrode deposited on said surface, said reference sensor and said active sensor being spaced apart from one another;

    a first electrolytic material having a first thickness and being in contact with said first sensing electrode for carrying a flow of ions;

    a second electrolytic material having a second thickness and being in contact with said second sensing electrode for carrying a flow of ions, said second thickness being less than said first thickness; and

    additional electrolytic material in contact with active sensor and reference sensor, wherein said additional electrolytic material acts as a conductive medium to carry ions from the active sensor to the reference sensor.
