素ガスとなる。2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows the operating principle of a solid electrolyte type oxygen pump. That is, the oxygen ion conductor 3 provided with the air-side electrode 1 and the inert gas-side electrode 2 on both sides is heated to 900 ° C.
To 1000 ° C., an oxygen ion conductor 3 is used as a partition wall, air is introduced into one side, and an inert gas such as nitrogen, argon, or helium is introduced into the other side, and the air side electrode 1 serves as an anode and an inert gas side electrode When a voltage is applied with 2 as the cathode, the low concentration oxygen contained in the inert gas is oxygen-ionized at the cathode and diffuses the oxygen ion conductor 3 to the anode to become oxygen gas again.

加した際に流れる電流値を制御する必要がある。As described above, the solid electrolyte type oxygen pump is a device for controlling the oxygen concentration in the inert gas by applying a voltage. The amount of oxygen transferred by the solid electrolyte type oxygen pump is
Follow Faraday's law. That is, 1 g of the equivalent amount of oxygen is transferred by the electric quantity of 1 coulomb. Therefore, in order to control the concentration to a desired value, it is necessary to control the value of current flowing when a voltage is applied to the oxygen ion conductor.

る。In order to improve the oxygen concentration control characteristic,
It is a necessary condition that the current value is large at a low applied voltage.
Normally, the oxygen partial pressure in an inert gas such as nitrogen, argon, or helium is about 10 -4 atm, but the current value required to reduce this oxygen partial pressure to the target oxygen partial pressure is inactive. Although it is determined by the flow rate of gas, that is, the absolute amount of oxygen concentration in the inert gas, the voltage value that can be applied to the oxygen ion conductor is within this voltage range because the oxygen ion conductor does not undergo electrolysis. Will limit the current value.

低下させることが必要である。The voltage range of the ZrO 2 type oxygen ion conductor is limited to about 2V. Therefore, in order to improve the oxygen concentration control characteristic within this voltage range, that is, the current value control, it is necessary to reduce the resistance value of the solid electrolyte type oxygen pump as much as possible.

反応抵抗を可能な限り低下させることが必要である。The characteristics of the solid electrolyte oxygen pump are as described above. The resistance of the solid electrolyte oxygen pump is composed of the oxygen ion conductor, the material resistance of the electrode itself, and the electrode reaction resistance. Therefore, in order to reduce the resistance of the solid electrolyte type oxygen pump, it is necessary to reduce these two resistances. Regarding the oxygen ion conductor of the material resistance, it is possible to reduce the material resistance by reducing the film thickness, but an extreme reduction in the film thickness causes a decrease in strength of the solid electrolyte oxygen pump itself. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the material resistance of the electrode itself and the electrode reaction resistance as much as possible.
