摘要： An oxygen concentration detector provides high durability by increasing the thermal stability of coating layers applied to an electrode face thereof. A catalyst layer is formed on an outer surface of an electrode at the analysis gas side of a partition wall made of an ion oxygen conductive ceramic for generating electromotive force according to the difference between the concentration of oxygen in the analysis gas and the concentration of oxygen in the reference gas. The catalyst layer is composed of heat resistant ceramic particles and a particulate metallic catalyst made of platinum, rhodium or the like, supported by the surface of the heat resistant ceramic particles. The catalyst layer is formed so that the catalyst is supported by the heat resistant support particles. The support particles are heat treated to grow to a particle size so that particle growth can be restrained when the support particles are exposed to the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine. The outside of the electrode of the partition wall is covered with support particles having such heat treated large cohered catalyst particles, and good responsivity of the sensor is thereby maintained.

摘要： A device for sensing the oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas has a cup-like oxygen-ion permeable cylindrical member made of solid electrolyte consisting of oxygen-ion conducting metal oxide. The cylindrical member has an inner circumferential surface communicating with the atmosphere and an outer circumferential surface communicating with the exhaust gas for producing an electromotive force corresponding to a difference between the oxygen concentrations on the inner circumferential surface and on the outer circumferential surface and has a negative-resistance temperature characteristic. A pair of first electrodes serving as a lean sensor each comprise a thin film made of porous metal material and are provided on the inner circumferential surface and outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical member, respectively, in opposed relationship to each other. An oxygen-gas diffusion limiting layer covers the lean sensing electrode on the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical member. A pair of second electrodes for sensing the oxygen concentration under high load drive mode and the temperature of the cylindrical member each comprises a thin film made of porous metal material and are provided, respectively, on those portions of the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the cylindrical member which are different from the portions where the first electrodes are provided in opposed relationship to each other. A heater is disposed in the cylindrical member for heating the cylindrical member.
