Abstract
Abstract Gas detecting sensor made of SnO 2 characterized by containing less than 5% by weight of at least one of Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, SrO and BaO and less than 1% by weight of chlorine. The gas detecting sensor has a high sensitivity selectively to carbon monoxide but has a low sensitivity to hydrocarbon gases.
