摘要： A multilayered air-fuel ratio sensor consists of a plurality of substrate layers. At least one heterogeneous boundary layer is interposed between the plurality of substrate layers. The heterogeneous boundary layer has a thickness in a range of 10 to 100 μm. The heterogeneous boundary layer absorbs thermal shocks or any other stresses acting on the substrate layers and stops the growth of cracks.

摘要： An air-fuel ratio sensing element comprises a pump cell having at least one pair of pump electrodes thereon, a sensor cell having at least one pair of sensor electrodes thereon, and a gas chamber having two surfaces defined by the pump cell and the sensor cell. Two to five gas holes, each having approximately the same diameter and communicating with the gas chamber, are provided for introducing sensed gas into the gas chamber. The gas holes form their projection images on the surface of the sensor cell which has a sensor electrode thereon and faces the gas chamber. The sensor electrode is shaped such that it is dividable into a plurality of similar subsections defined by virtual lines connecting the geometric centroid of the sensor electrode and the center of the projection image of each gas hole.

The sample gas chamber has a wall formed by a solid electrolytic substrate having an oxygen ion conductivity. The sensor cell is disposed between the reference gas chamber and the sample gas chamber for detecting a concentration of a NOx gas. A pump cell body of the NOx sensor has a surface facing to the sample gas chamber and has a pump cell for introducing and exhausting an oxygen gas to and from the sample gas chamber. In manufacturing this NOx sensor, the main body and the pump cell body are fabricated individually as separate items. The main body and the pump cell body are sintered independently.

摘要： This invention aims at providing an oxygen concentration sensor having electrodes which are excellent in heat resistance and durability and maintain quick response. An electrode 26 on an exhaust side is formed on one of the side surfaces of a solid electrolyte 25, and an electrode 24 on an atmosphere side is formed on the other side surface. The electrode 26 on the exhaust side has a composite structure comprising a skeletal electrode 26a and a reaction electrode 26a. The skeletal electrode 26a has a film thickness of 5 to 20 .mu.m and a porosity of less than 10%, and is a heat-resistant thick film for primarily forming a skeletal region. In contrast, the reaction electrode 26b has a film thickness of 0.5 to 2 .mu.m and a porosity of 10 to 50%, and is a high response thin film for primarily forming a reaction region.
