Nickel oxide and chromium-doped nickel oxide (Ni0.95Cr0.03O1-delta ) were prepared by thermal decomposition of nitrates. The obtained NiO and Ni0.95Cr0.03O1-delta samples were utilized as sensing electrodes (SEs) in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based sensors for detection of NO2 at 800 A degrees C under wet condition (5 vol.% H2O). While the mixed-potential-type planar sensor attached with NiO-SE gave rather large NO2 sensitivity, the sensor attached with Ni0.95Cr0.03O1-delta -SE exhibited fast recovery rate with an acceptable sensitivity. The Delta emf (electromotive force) of the sensors varied linearly with NO2 concentration in the examined range of 50-400 ppm on a logarithmic scale. Based on the results of measurements for polarization, complex impedance and gas phase catalysis, the fast recovery was attributable to the high rate for the anodic reaction of O-2 at the Ni0.95Cr0.03O1-delta /YSZ interface, and the lower NO2 sensitivity was caused by both the high rate for the anodic reaction of O-2 and the high degree for the gas phase conversion of NO2 to NO.
