Miniaturized mixed-potential-type planar-like sensors using yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coupled with a metal oxide sensing electrode (SE) and a Mn-based reference electrode (RE) were fabricated. Among the different oxide-SEs examined, the sensor using Cr 2 O 3-SE was found to give comparatively high selectivity towards hydrocarbons (HCs) at 550 C under a humid working condition (5 vol% water vapor), exhibiting similar values of sensitivity to both saturated and unsaturated HCs. By the addition of 30 wt% NiCr 2 O 4 into the Cr 2 O 3-SE, HCs sensitivity was augmented. The sensitivity of the developed sensor had a linear dependence on the logarithm of HC concentration.
