    Abstract: Provided is a gas detection device that includes a gas sensor, a power supply circuit that applies voltage to the gas sensor, and a control circuit that determines whether a leak of gas is present. The power supply circuit includes a reset power source that generates a first voltage, and a detection power source that generates a detection voltage for measuring resistance of a metal-oxide layer of the gas sensor. When a value of a current flowing through the metal-oxide layer is a predetermined value ITH or greater, the reset power source applies the first voltage to the gas sensor to perform a reset of resetting the metal-oxide layer of the gas sensor to a high-resistance state, and the control circuit determines that a leak of gas is present, depending on a state in which the reset is performed after the reset is performed for the first time.

    Abstract: A gas-detecting apparatus includes a gas sensor and a power supply circuit. The gas sensor includes: a first electrode; a second electrode; a metal oxide layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and an insulation film covering the first electrode, the second electrode, and the metal oxide layer. The insulation file having an opening from which a surface of the second electrode is exposed. The resistance value of the metal oxide layer decreases when gas containing hydrogen atoms comes into contact with the second electrode. The power supply circuit applies a predetermined voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode to increase the resistance value of the metal oxide layer before and/or after the decrease in the resistance value of the metal oxide layer.
