    Abstract: A gas sensor which detects a concentration of a specific gas contained in a gas to be measured is provided with a gas sensor element. The gas sensor element has an ion conductive solid electrolyte body, a measuring gas electrode which is mounted on a surface of the solid electrolyte body, a reference gas electrode mounted on a surface of the solid electrolyte body, and a catalyst layer mounted on an outer-side relative to the measuring gas electrode-side. The catalyst layer contains a metal catalyst loaded onto a carrier. The metal catalyst is a Pt single substance, and has a specific surface area defined by the equation below of equal to or more than 0.01 to equal to or less than 23: Specific surface area=total surface area of metal catalyst which exists on an electrode unit surface area/actual surface area of electrode per electrode unit surface area.

    Abstract: A sensor element for detecting a specific gas concentration in a measurement-object gas includes: an element body including an oxygen-ion-conductive solid electrolyte layer, and having inside a measurement-object gas flow portion that introduces and flows a measurement-object gas and a reference gas chamber used to store a reference gas that is a reference for detecting a specific gas concentration; a reference electrode disposed in the reference gas chamber; and an electrically conductive portion which includes a reference electrode terminal and a reference electrode lead portion that provides electrical continuity between the reference electrode terminal and the reference electrode. The reference gas chamber is provided inside the sensor element in an isolated form, and at least part of the electrically conductive portion is densely formed so as to block movement of oxygen between the reference gas chamber and the outside of the sensor element via the electrically conductive portion.

    Abstract: An NO2 sensor comprises a sensing electrode material that includes a compound consisting essentially of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mn, Co, and Fe; an element selected from the group consisting of Si and Ti; and oxygen. In an alternate embodiment, the sensing electrode material includes a compound consisting essentially of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mn, Co, and Fe; an element selected from the group consisting of Si and Ti; an element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Al, Li, Na, and K; and oxygen. Sensors made with these sensing electrode materials demonstrate good NO2 sensitivity and reduced sensitivity to cross-interference from NO and NH3.

    Abstract: This control device for an internal combustion engine includes: an exhaust purification catalyst that is provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine; a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor that is provided downstream of the exhaust purification catalyst; and an air-fuel ratio control device that controls such that the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust purification catalyst reaches a target air-fuel ratio. The downstream air-fuel ratio sensor is configured such that the applied voltage thereof at which the output current becomes zero decreases as the exhaust air-fuel ratio increases. If the target air-fuel ratio is richer than the reference air-fuel ratio, the voltage applied to the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor is set to a higher voltage than the voltage at which the output current becomes zero when the exhaust air-fuel ratio is the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. If the target air-fuel ratio is leaner than the reference air-fuel ratio, the voltage applied to the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor is set to a lower voltage than the voltage at which the output current becomes zero when the exhaust air-fuel ratio is the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. A control device for an internal combustion engine using an air-fuel ratio sensor that can reliably detect when the absolute value of the exhaust air-fuel ratio reaches a prescribed air-fuel ratio richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is thus provided.
