This is well known and is used in gas leak alarms and the like. Such a gas t:/”j element is, for example, Alena t
After applying an aqueous paste containing 5RO2 powder and high purity α-alumina powder to the substrate so as to cover the gold electrodes formed at two locations on the Ranic substrate, and drying the paste,
It is obtained by sintering in air. Conventionally used S#02 series gas t:J elements are manufactured so that the average particle size of S m Oa-order particles after sintering is about 50 to 120 A as observed with a transmission electron microscope. During this process, the firing conditions (temperature and time), particle size of the Sm0a raw material, etc. are selected.If the average particle size of the S#02-next particle becomes too large, the surface area will become small and oxygen gas will not be adsorbed. This is because it was thought that the sensor function would not be performed sufficiently and the sensor function would not be fully demonstrated. However, known 5Is such as
It has been discovered that the IO2-based sensor element has a problem in that its detection sensitivity becomes more sensitive over time, causing it to issue an alarm in the presence of a trace amount of flammable gas below the initially set concentration. did.

とによることを見出した。The present inventor has conducted various studies on the causes of increased detection sensitivity in known SNO2; It was discovered that this is due to the fact that the 5PI02 primary particles gradually grow and become coarse when the sensor element is exposed to high temperature conditions due to contact with decomposition gas, etc.) or fluctuations in power supply voltage.

It was discovered that the gas t = zt, which was prepared to be 50A, had the same performance as the conventional product in terms of initial gas sensitivity characteristics, and greatly exceeded the conventional product in terms of stability over time. That is, the present invention provides a combustible gas sensor containing 5LIO2 as a main component, in which the average particle size of S#02-order particles observed with a transmission electron microscope is 150 to 250A.
This relates to combustible waste t:J, which is characterized by being within the range of

It can be produced in the same manner as the conventional method except that the sintering temperature and time are adjusted so that the average particle size of the secondary particles is within the range of 150 to 250A. To give one example, after printing gold paste as an electrode material in two places on an aluminum nick board, the same gold paste was used to attach the 7-pin all-gold wire electrodes to both electrodes. Then, an aqueous paste containing 5IIO2 powder and high-purity α-alena powder is applied to cover both electrodes, dried, and then fired at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. In order to keep the average particle size of cod Oa-order particles observed with a transmission disk electron microscope within the range of 150 to 250 A, the temperature during firing must be slightly higher than that of the conventional method, or the firing time must be increased. Either make it slightly longer, or use a combination of both.
