Particularly preferably be, structuring portion has transversary portion, promptly is parallel to the structuring portion of the horizontal expansion size of electrode.This transversary portion can especially comprise the variation in thickness of the bed thickness of electrode, and wherein, variation in thickness comprises at least two local maximums of thickness of electrode.For example it can be the order of a plurality of peaks and paddy in the electrode bed thickness.In addition, for example can use the ripple struction that has a plurality of pyramidal pyramid structures, has a plurality of troughs and crest, cutting-edge structure, the combination of perhaps described structure or other structure with a plurality of tips (protuberance that promptly has pointed end).A plurality of local eminences can be provided with regularly or brokenly at this.In addition, conversion ground or additionally, this structuring portion also can comprise one or more in the following structuring portion: the hacking portion in the electrode surface; Line pattern in the electrode surface, especially irregular line pattern, but wherein also can expect regular line pattern; Grid in the electrode surface, especially dot pattern, especially irregular dot pattern; Sectional hole patterns, especially irregular sectional hole patterns, but wherein the sectional hole patterns of rule also is fine.

The conversion of the transversary portion of extending as the horizontal expansion size that is parallel to electrode or additional, vertical stratification portion also is fine, promptly perpendicular to the structuring portion of the horizontal expansion size of electrode.Therefore, structuring portion can for example comprise at least one physics of electrode and/or the chemical characteristic gradient perpendicular to the horizontal expansion size.At this especially can be porosity gradient and/or material gradient and/or density gradient.Conversion ground or additionally, structuring portion also can be included in the gradient of metal material concentration aspect, the concentration gradient of one or more in the especially described metal material.
In order to be created in, allow in principle to use to be suitable for producing the whole bag of tricks of this gradient or variation perpendicular to the gradient on the direction of electrode horizontal expansion size.Especially as an example can use electrode cream with frothing agent.This frothing agent is open and comprise the material that for example changes gas phase into when sintering and stay cavity by prior art.The exemplary of frothing agent is: the combination of the frothing agent of vitreous carbon, flame black, wax shape hydrocarbon, polymer globules or described and/or other type.
Therefore, electrode cream can for example be equipped with frothing agent, and this frothing agent has with the encirclement material of electrode cream, the organic principle of for example electrode cream compares different density.Because the density difference between all the other compositions of frothing agent and electrode cream, frothing agent moves in coated electrode cream, makes the concentration gradient of in undried electrode cream layer still generation frothing agent.For example frothing agent can have littler density than the adhesive component of all the other materials of electrode cream or at least a material component, for example electrode cream.Particularly preferably be, frothing agent is constructed in this wise, make its migration away from solid electrolyte layer, thereby the concentration of frothing agent increases on the direction away from solid electrolyte layer.After sintering, in electrode, form gradient stomatal frequency or the porosity owing to the concentration gradient of frothing agent.Can for example on the side of solid electrolyte layer, create the surface that increases in this mode at the finger of electrode.
Another aspect of the present invention is to contact the aspect of solid electrolyte layer by electrode indirectly by one or more middle layers, this conversion ground, aspect or additionally can be used for above-mentioned form of implementation.Can use among one or more in above-mentioned enforcement modification in combination with the said structure portion of electrode on the conception principle in middle layer.But also can expect to conversion in not structurized fully electrode, using.In principle for the possible configuration scheme of this class sensor element, can be for example with reference to the above explanation of possible the configuration scheme of sensor element with structurized electrode, wherein this class sensor element must be by additional aspect at least one middle layer.
The sensor element that this aspect according to the present invention proposes comprises that again at least one solid electrolyte layer with at least a solid electrolyte material contacts the electrode of solid electrolyte layer indirectly with at least one, and described electrode has at least a stupalith and at least a metal material.At this, this contact is indirect, promptly inserts at least one middle layer between electrode and solid electrolyte layer.The middle layer has higher ionic conduction ability and/or higher electronic conduction ability according to the present invention than solid electrolyte layer.
The purpose of this aspect of the present invention is, keeps the all-in resistance of electrode system as far as possible little, and for example this cryogenic property for exhaust gas probe is favourable.For this reason, at least one transition resistance of electrode and solid electrolyte is reduced.At this, for example also allow to use closely knit and solid electrolyte material good conducting ion for the middle layer.The same solid dielectric material that for example also is used for solid electrolyte layer also allows individually or is used in described at least one middle layer in combination with other materials.But also can use other material, for example stupalith in principle.Particularly preferably be, not only solid electrolyte material but also middle layer comprise zirconium dioxide, for example yttrium-stabile zirconium dioxide respectively, wherein, the middle layer than the solid electrolyte material of solid electrolyte layer have higher doping, especially higher yttrium mixes and/or higher Yttrium oxide doping.
Compare with known method with known sensor element, the method that being used to of sensor element that proposes among one or more in above-mentioned form of implementation and proposition made sensor element has many advantages.Available electrode surface in many sensor elements for example, the electrode surface of external electrode (OE) and interior electrode (IE) for example is by the size and the structure gauge of sensor element.Typical operational OE face in plane jump detector for example 0.04 and 0.1cm 2Between the motion.At this, for example can use rectangle or oval face, it can directly be stamped on (for example being the form of ceramic monolith film) solid electrolyte layer by Pt-YSZ-metallic ceramics-electrode cream.The component of electrode cream, for example the content of platinum, YSZ and possible other component, especially organic component such as bonding agent, solvent or the like can require to determine by printing technology for electrode coated at least thereupon.The possible raw material for example minimum available granularity of material powder and the ceramic-metallic fineness that obtains thus can be limited by cost and job security aspect.Therefore, the granularity of employed solid can for example be determined in advance in this wise, make it be not less than definite limit, although this maximization for the quantity in activated centre is helpful.Therefore for example typical Pt-YSZ-metallic ceramics-electrode cream for example has the platinum of 60 to 70 percentage by weights, the YSZ of 10 to 25 percentage by weights and the organic principle of 10 to 20 percentage by weights, and wherein the granularity of metal of Jia Ruing and ceramic powders is d90>15 micron.
In order to make the quantity maximization of using activated centre under the minimum situation at platinum, can increase electrode surface by structuring portion level (promptly being parallel to the horizontal expansion size) and/or vertical (promptly perpendicular to the horizontal expansion size) according to the present invention according to the above-mentioned first aspect of the structuring portion of electrode.
And in aspect another of at least one additional middle layer, on purpose improve transmissibility electricity and/or ion of electrode system.The all-in resistance of electrode system is provided by volume resistance and the transition resistance sum between electrode and solid electrolyte layer or ceramic substrate (Interface) by solid electrolyte layer and two electrode layers (Bulk).For example can design this structure as follows for the lambda sensor that is the finger-type panel detector structure:
Exhaust air chamber
External electrode (OE)
The middle layer
Solid electrolyte layer
The middle layer
Interior electrode (IE)
Reference air
But other layer structure also is fine and considers similarly in principle.For the all-in resistance with electrode system keeps as far as possible for a short time, for example in order to improve above-mentioned cryogenic property, that pass through to be proposed, good conducting ion and closely knit middle layer can reduce transition resistance consumingly.
For example can use the YSZ middle layer, they also can have the metal material share.For example can use in the above-mentioned metal material one or more again, for example platinum.Preferably, in the middle layer concentration of metal material less than the concentration of metal material in the electrode.
In addition, conversion ground or additionally, the porosity in middle layer can keep lowlyer than the porosity of electrode.Therefore, for example the porosity in described at least one middle layer can be between the porosity of the porosity of electrode, for example platinum-metallic ceramics-electrode and solid electrolyte layer.
For example, solid electrolyte layer can have 3 to 7 molar percentages, the YSZ of 5.5 molar percentages for example, and wherein, this mole data are usually directed to the molar content of yttria in the zirconium dioxide.For example, at the ZrO of solid electrolyte 2In may have the Y of 5.5 molar percentages 2O 3, and in the middle layer, for example have the Y of 9.0 molar percentages 2O 3, and the Y that in metallic ceramics, for example has 11.0 molar percentages 2O 3For example can use by tetragonal stable ZrO 2(TPZ) Y that form, that in ZrO2, have 3.0 molar percentages 2O 3The solid electrolyte carrier or by Y partially stabilized, that in ZrO2, have 5.5 molar percentages 2O 3The solid electrolyte carrier.Can use for example Y of 5.5 molar percentage to 8.0 molar percentages for the middle layer 2O 3, especially be cubic system, completely stable shape.Metallic ceramics for electrode can use for example Y of 8.0 molar percentage to 11 molar percentages 2O 3
Being connected and reducing transition resistance between the ceramic substrate of electrode and solid electrolyte layer, for example solid electrolyte layer can be improved in described at least one middle layer.Described at least one middle layer equally can be by structuring, for example according in the said structure method one or more.Therefore, can realize being parallel to electrode the horizontal expansion size structuring portion and/or perpendicular to the structuring portion of the horizontal expansion size of electrode.Thus can be all sidedly with reference to above-mentioned structured techniques.Therefore, for example the structuring portion of the structuring portion in described at least one middle layer and described at least one electrode can exist simultaneously.The middle layer can constitute for example non-porously.For example, the middle layer can be at ZrO 2In have the Y of 5 to 11 molar percentages 2O 3, especially content is at 7 to 10 moles percent Y 2O 3Preferred especially ZrO 2Middle Y 2O 3Content is about 8 molar percentages.
Usually cause described at least one middle layer physical strength littler on the one hand although compare the middle layer doping of increase with solid electrolyte layer than the solid electrolyte material of solid electrolyte layer.But this is sustainable when especially being no more than given thickness in the middle layer, although because along with the raising strength degradation of mixing, the ionic conduction ability improves.Can improve by this way electricity between solid electrolyte layer and the electrode and/or ion be connected and reduce transition resistance thus.
