Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The filter of a gas sensor comprises an inorganic porous support supporting both an organic sulfonic acid compound including sulfo group (—SO3H) and a Lewis acid having at least a metal element of transitional metal elements, Al element, Ga element, In element, Ge element, and Sn element. The Lewis acid loaded in the inorganic porous support adsorbs low concentration siloxanes. The organic sulfonic acid compound including sulfo group polymerizes adsorbed siloxanes in the filter so as not to desorb from the filter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A gas sensor comprising a gas sensing element and a filter arranged at a position nearer to atmospheres to be detected than the gas sensing element, wherein said filter comprises an inorganic porous support supporting both an organic sulfonic acid compound including sulfo group (—SO3H) and a Lewis acid consisting of zirconia. 2. The gas sensor according to claim 1 , wherein said inorganic porous support includes at least a member selected from the group consisting of plate-like mesoporous silica, silica-gel other than mesoporous silica, or alumina. 3. The gas sensor according to claim 2 , wherein said inorganic porous support includes the silica-gel other than mesoporous silica. 4. The gas sensor according to claim 1 , wherein said filter is obtainable by fixing said zirconia in the inorganic porous support and then, loading said organic sulfonic acid compound in the inorganic porous support. 5. The gas sensor according to claim 1 , wherein said zirconia is solved in said inorganic porous support as a solid solution. 6. A method for producing a gas sensor comprising a gas sensing element and a filter arranged at a position nearer to atmospheres to be detected than the gas sensing element, comprising: a step for loading, in an inorganic porous support, at least a salt of Zr element, and then, thermally decomposing said salt to load an Lewis acid consisting of zirconia; and a subsequent step for loading, in said inorganic porous support, an organic sulfonic acid compound including sulfo group (—SO3H) to prepare a material of said filter.
