Abstract
Solid electrolyte based sensors have been widely studied for the detection of CO/HC and NO x at high temperature. Nevertheless, the discussion about the sensing mechanism of non-nernstian electrochemical gas sensors, with a semiconducting sensing electrode, is still open. In this work, a study of the influence of the metallic electrode under the semiconducting metal oxide Nb 2O 5 on the sensor response was performed. Planar sensors based on tape-cast YSZ layers were fabricated. Two Pt or Au finger electrodes were deposited in a parallel arrangement on a single side of YSZ. One of these electrodes was covered with Nt 2O 5 thick film. In order to better understand the sensing mechanism, the electrical measurements were correlated with catalytic measurements performed on both sensing and reference electrodes. copyright The Electrochemical Society.
