  • Patent number: 9939404
    Abstract: A CO sensor includes a solid electrolyte substrate, a sensing electrode, and a reference electrode, and outputs electromotive forces in accordance with CO concentrations. The sensing electrode and the reference electrode are provided on the same surface of the solid electrolyte substrate. The sensing electrode contains a metal oxide such as Bi2O3 that generates a positive electromotive force response when coming into contact with CO. The reference electrode contains a metal oxide such as CeO2 that generates a negative electromotive force response when coming into contact with CO.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170222242
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel anion conductor which comprises a layered metal hydroxide and can be used as an alkaline electrolyte film for use in a fuel cell or the like. An anion conductor characterized by comprising a molded product of a layered metal hydroxide represented by formula (1): [Mx(OH)y(A)(?x-y)/z-nH2O] (wherein M represents a metal that can serve as a bivalent or trivalent cation; ? represents the number of valency of the metal M, A represents an atom or an atomic group that can serve as an anion, and z represents the number of valency of the anion A, wherein, when (?x-y)/z is 2 or greater, A's may be different types of anions which can serve as anions having the same valencies as each other, or may be anions having different valencies from each other; and n represents the average number of molecules of interlayer water contained per one repeating unit).
