<p>A voltaic gas sensor comprises a working electrode 3 formed by attaching a layer of an electrically conductive active substance on a diaphragm 2 admitting a gas to be detected and having a water-repellent property, a selectively permeable film 5 substantially not permitting the permeation of a gas to be detected while permitting the permeation of oxygen, a counter electrode 6 stuck fast to the back of said selectively permeable film 5, and a sheet 4 impregnated with an electrolyte disposed between said working electrode 3 and selectively permeable film 5, said diaphragm 2 being held in a casing in such a manner as to be exposed to the atmosphere. While the oxygen dissolved in the electrolyte is allowed to reach the counter electrode 6, the film 5 prevents the gas to be detected from reaching the counter electrode as much as possible. <IMAGE></p> |
