Abstract

Provided is a reducing gas sensor having a pair of electrodes, and a reaction layer in electrical contact with the pair of electrodes, wherein the reaction layer contains a palladium metal complex represented by general formula (1), and a reducing gas is detected by measuring the change in electrical conductivity between the pair of electrodes caused by an irreversible redox reaction between the palladium metal complex and the reducing gas. In general formula (1), OR1-OR4 are each a monodentate ligand, a multidentate ligand formed by bonding between R1-R4, or a bridging ligand in which each ofR1-R4 bonds to a palladium atom other than the palladium atom in general formula (1). R1-R4 each have at least one carbon atom, and may be identical of different.

Description

[technical field] [0001] The present invention relates to a reducing gas sensor configured to detect reducing gas. [Background technique] [0002] A reducing gas is a compound that has high reducibility and the property of reducing a compound that is easily reduced when it comes into contact with the compound, and is in a gaseous state at normal temperature. Specific examples of reducing gases include hydrogen, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and ethylene. These reducing gases are widely used in industry, but some of them are flammable, explosive or harmful to the human body when inhaled. Therefore, for safety control, it is necessary to detect leakage of reducing gas from storage such as tanks, bottles, or pipes to the outside. [0003] Patent Document 1 describes a color-changing sensor that changes color upon reaction with hydrogen as a sensor that detects hydrogen gas as a reducing gas. Specifically, the sensor has a coloring material in its reaction portion that chang...
