    Abstract: A sensor element includes an element body including an oxygen-ion-conductive solid electrolyte layer, the element body having a longitudinal direction, a measurement electrode disposed in the element body, a reference electrode disposed in the element body so as to come into contact with a reference gas, and a heater configured to heat the solid electrolyte layer. A center of gravity of the reference electrode overlaps the measurement electrode as viewed in a thickness direction of the solid electrolyte layer. A length of each of the reference electrode and the measurement electrode in a front-rear direction is less than or equal to 1.1 mm, the front-rear direction being a direction along the longitudinal direction of the element body. An area of the reference electrode as viewed in the thickness direction is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm2.

    Abstract: A fuel cell comprises an anode, a cathode, and a solid electrolyte layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. The cathode includes a main phase configured by a perovskite oxide including at least one of La or Sr at the A site and that is expressed by the general formula ABO3, and a secondary phase configured by strontium oxide. The occupied surface area ratio of the secondary phase in a cross section of the cathode is greater than or equal to 0.05% and less than or equal to 3%.

    Abstract: A focus ring placement table includes an annular ceramic heater on which a focus ring is placed, a metal base, an adhesive element bonding the metal base and the ceramic heater, an inner-peripheral-side protective element disposed between the metal base and the ceramic heater and bonded to an inner peripheral portion of the adhesive element, and an outer-peripheral-side protective element disposed between the metal base and the ceramic heater and bonded to an outer peripheral portion of the adhesive element. A coefficient of thermal expansion of the adhesive element is equal to or smaller than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the inner-peripheral-side protective element and is equal to or greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the outer-peripheral-side protective element.

    Abstract: An electrically heating converter includes: a pillar shaped honeycomb structure made of conductive ceramics, including: an outer peripheral wall; and a partition wall disposed on an inner side of the outer peripheral wall, the partition wall defining a plurality of cells, each of the cells penetrating from one end face to other end face to form a flow path; metal electrodes; conductive connecting portions arranged on a surface of the pillar shaped honeycomb structure; and a pressing member configured to press the metal electrodes against the conductive connecting portions, so that the metal electrodes are electrically connected to the pillar shaped honeycomb structure. Each of the conductive connecting portions has an electrical resistivity lower than that of the pillar shaped honeycomb structure.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a hollow pillar shaped honeycomb structure, a first outer cylindrical member, an inner cylindrical member, an upstream cylindrical member, a cylindrical connecting member, and a downstream cylindrical member. The heat exchanger further includes a valve mechanism having an on-off valve located on a downstream end portion side of the inner cylindrical member. The valve mechanism is rotatably supported by a bearing arranged on a radially outer side of the downstream cylindrical member, and the on-off valve is fixed to a shaft arranged so as to penetrate the downstream cylindrical member and the inner cylindrical member.
