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： In a method for forming an inside electrode within a cup-type electrolyte member of an O.sub.2 sensor element, firstly, a nozzle having a paste discharge hole is prepared. The nozzle is inserted into an inside space of the electrolyte member. Then, the paste discharge hole of the nozzle is relatively rotated with respect to the electrolyte member along an inside surface of the electrolyte member while discharging paste therefrom onto the inside surface. Accordingly, the inside electrode formation portion is formed. After forming the inside electrode formation portion, the electrolyte member is baked. As a result, the inside electrode can be disposed on a required portion of the electrolyte member with a uniform thickness.

The structure includes a cup-shaped solid electrolyte body, an inner electrode, and an outer electrode. The solid electrolyte body has a portion exposed to the gases which has a given length. The inner electrode is formed on an inner wall of the solid electrolyte body and exposed to air. The outer electrode is formed on an outer wall of the solid electrolyte body and exposed to the gases through a protective layer. The oxygen content in the gases is measured based on output signals from the inner and outer electrodes. The outer electrode occupies an area on the outer wall of the solid electrolyte body within a range of 80% of the given length of the gas-exposed portion of the solid electrolyte body and has a thickness ranging from 1.2 to 3.0 &mgr;m.
