Abstract
A gas sensor driving method for a gas sensor that (i) includes: a first electrode including a first principal surface; a second electrode including a second principal surface; a metal-oxide layer interposed between the first principal surface and the second principal surface that face each other; and an insulating film covering the first electrode, the metal-oxide layer, and the second electrode, and exposing at least a part of a third principal surface of the second electrode, the third principal surface being disposed on an opposite side of the second principal surface, and (ii) detects hydrogen in accordance with a change in a resistance value of the metal-oxide layer. The gas sensor driving method includes repeatedly applying a positive voltage and a negative voltage across the first electrode and the second electrode.
