Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the structure of the oxygen sensor itself becomes complicated, and at the same time, the structure for installing the oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe is also complicated.
Moreover, since the structure becomes complicated, there is also a problem that it is difficult to miniaturize the oxygen sensor

Abstract

A gas sensor according to the present invention is a resistance-type gas sensor including: an oxide semiconductor layer (11) composed of an oxide containing cerium (11a,11b); and detection electrodes (12) for detecting the resistivity of the oxide semiconductor layer. The oxide semiconductor layer includes an alumina-containing layer (11a) in which alumina is contained, and the detection electrodes (12) are disposed in contact with the alumina-containing layer (11a).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a gas sensor, and particularly to a resistance gas sensor including an oxide semiconductor layer. In addition, the present invention relates to an internal combustion engine and transportation equipment equipped with such a gas sensor. Background technique [0002] From the standpoint of environmental problems and energy problems, it is required to improve the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines and to reduce the restricted substances (NO) contained in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines x etc.) emissions are reduced. Therefore, in order to always burn fuel under optimum conditions, it is necessary to properly control the ratio of fuel to air according to the combustion state. The ratio of air to fuel is called the air-fuel ratio (A / F). In the case of using a three-way catalyst, the best air-fuel ratio is the theoretical air-fuel ratio. The theoretical air-fuel ratio refers to an air-fuel ratio ...
