Abstract
A gas composition sensor for detecting oxygen, and hydrocarbon group fuel or combustible composition produced after combustion having a zirconia solid electrolyte body, a concentration cell composed of a platinoid metal catalytic detecting electrode and a reference electrode opposite to each other and a sensing element composed of a gas diffusion limiting member coating the detecting electrode, which further comprises a pair of the sensing elements and heaters for setting both of the sensing elements to operating temperatures different from each other, whereby a specified gas component is selectively detected by operating both of the sensing elements so as to have sensitivity coefficients to the specified gas component different from each other.
