Abstract
A gas sensor with excellent detection sensitivity is provided. A sensing electrode, which is provided in a mixed-potential gas sensor for measuring a concentration of a predetermined gas component of a measurement gas to sense the predetermined gas component, is formed of a cermet of a noble metal and an oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte. The noble metal includes Pt and Au. A range of at least 1.5 nm from a surface of a noble metal particle included in the sensing electrode is a Au enriched region having a Au concentration of 10% or more.
