った。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a gas sensor used in a flammable gas leak alarm and a gas concentration meter, a metal oxide sintered semiconductor gas sensor and a catalytic combustion type gas sensor have been widely used. Since these gas sensors utilize a gas adsorption phenomenon, a combustion phenomenon, and the like, they react with various gases in the test gas, making it difficult to selectively detect only hydrogen gas.
これに対し定電位電解式水素センサは水素ガスに対する
選択性に優れているので水素ガスのみを選択的に検知す
ることができる。On the other hand, the potentiostatic electrolysis hydrogen sensor is excellent in selectivity to hydrogen gas, and therefore can selectively detect only hydrogen gas.

に保ち、液膜の厚さが変わらないようにすることが肝要
である。A potentiostatic electrolysis gas sensor is usually composed of a working electrode and a counter electrode of platinum, gold, palladium or the like, a diaphragm of an electrolytic solution and a gas-permeable fluororesin. The working electrode is composed of a metal disk or cylinder, and hydrogen in the detection gas first permeates the diaphragm and then dissolves in the electrolyte membrane formed between the diaphragm and the working electrode to form the surface of the working electrode. Take part in the reaction above. Therefore, it is essential to keep the contact state between the diaphragm and the working electrode constant so that the thickness of the liquid film does not change.
考案が解決しようとする課題 ところが、雰囲気気体の圧力が変化したり、相対湿度が

ある。However, there is a problem that the contact state between the diaphragm and the working electrode changes if the pressure of the atmospheric gas changes or the relative humidity changes. Further, if the contact state between the diaphragm and the working electrode is to be kept constant, great care must be taken, and the number of man-hours for manufacturing the sensor increases accordingly. Furthermore, when the diaphragm and the working electrode are pressed against each other in order to keep the contact state constant, there is a problem in that the electrolyte solution becomes unfavorable and the output becomes unstable.

る。The platinum-electroless carbon fiber electrode used for the working electrode has elasticity and excellent electrical conductivity. Since it is a fiber, it has good circulation around the electrolytic solution, so that the diaphragm and the working electrode can be strongly pressed. Therefore, the contact state between the diaphragm and the working electrode can be made constant, and the output becomes stable.
