Abstract
A gas sensor element has a solid electrolyte body of oxygen ionic conductivity, a target gas electrode and a reference gas electrode formed on both surfaces of the solid electrolyte body, respectively, a porous diffusion resistance layer, and a catalyst support trap layer. The porous diffusion resistance layer covers the target gas electrode and through which target gases to be measured are passing. The catalyst support trap layer is formed on the outer surface of the porous diffusion resistance layer and supports noble metal catalyst. In the gas sensor element, the noble metal catalyst is made of platinum, rhodium, palladium supported in the catalyst support trap layer. In particular, an addition amount of palladium in the total amount of the noble metal catalyst is within a range of 2 to 65 wt %.

Method of measuring a gas component and sensing device for measuring the gas component

TL;DR: In this article, a method and a sensing device of measuring a concentration of a gas component of a measurement gas, which includes the steps of: introducing the measurement gas containing the gas component, from an external measurement-gas space into a first internal space, under a diffusion resistance; controlling an amount of oxygen in measurement gas within the first internal spaces, so as to produce an atmosphere which does not substantially affect measurement of the gas components, and which do not convert the component.
