(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a moisture-sensitive ceramic composition, and more particularly to a moisture-sensitive ceramic composition that can be widely used as a humidity sensor for various appliances including food cookers such as microwave ovens, ovens, and dish dryers. relating to things. (Prior art) Conventionally, moisture-sensitive ceramics used for such applications include MgCr 2 O 4 −TiO 2 and ZnO−Cr 2 O 3
Examples include Li 2 O and V 2 O 5 -TiO 2 , and many of these are used as materials for humidity sensors. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-6121 discloses a moisture-sensitive ceramic that can be easily heated and cleaned and exhibits stable characteristics. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, with these conventional moisture-sensitive ceramics, the moisture-sensing properties may deteriorate in a high temperature range of 150°C or higher, or even if the moisture-sensing properties do not deteriorate, the properties may not satisfy the requirements. Therefore, for example, in a microwave oven, etc., which is required to detect absolute temperature in a high-temperature range, this requirement cannot be met. Therefore, the present invention provides a moisture-sensitive ceramic composition having good sensitivity from room temperature to high temperature. (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is a moisture-sensitive ceramic composition having the following general formula: AB 1-x B' x O 3 (0<X≦0.30). However, A is at least one of Ca, Sr, and Ba.
Species B is at least one of Ce and Zr B' is at least one of Group A excluding actinide and In The moisture-sensitive ceramic composition of the present invention is produced by blending various materials constituting the above-mentioned composition, It is obtained by mixing and calcining the powder, adding a binder to the calcined powder, molding it, and then firing the molded body. A humidity sensor is then obtained by providing a porous electrode on the surface of the obtained sintered body. (Effects of the Invention) According to the humidity-sensitive ceramic composition of the present invention, it is possible to provide a humidity sensor that is highly reliable and can detect absolute humidity even in a high temperature range of 150°C or higher, and also has humidity detection sensitivity. It has the effect that the change over time is small, and the response from the high humidity side to the low humidity side is fast. (Example) The moisture-sensitive ceramic composition according to the present invention will be explained in detail below. As raw materials, the main components are CaCO 3 , SrCO 3 ,
BaCO3 , CeO2 , La2O3 , Nd2O3 , Y2O3 , Er2O3 ,
DyO 3 , Pr 2 O 3 , Sm 2 O 3 , Sc 2 O 3 and In 2 O 3 were prepared and weighed to give the compositions shown in Table 1. These weighed materials were wet mixed in a ball mill. Next, dehydrate and dry this at 1100℃~1250℃.
It was calcined at ℃ for 2 hours. Then, this calcined product was pulverized, 10% by weight of vinyl acetate resin was added and mixed, and the resulting granulated powder was molded into a disk with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm under a pressure of about 2 ton.cm 2 . This shaped disk was fired in air at a temperature of 1350° C. for 2 hours. Obtained diameter 8.00mm, thickness
Platinum porous electrodes with a diameter of 7.00 mm were attached to both surfaces of a 0.45 mm sintered body to make a humidity sensor. Using the humidity sensor obtained in this way, we measured the resistance value (PH 1 ) in an atmosphere at 450°C containing 10 4 ppmw of water vapor (expressed as a weight ratio) and the resistance in an atmosphere at 450°C containing 10 5 ppmw of water vapor. The values (RH 2 ) were measured in each case. Furthermore, the humidity sensitivity s was calculated by substituting these values into the following equation. RH 1 =RH 2 ·(H 1 /H 2 ) -s H 1 : 10 4 ppmw, H 2 : 10 5 ppmw In this way, the results shown in Table 1 were obtained. Note that the samples marked with * in Table 1 are outside the scope of this invention, and the others are within the scope of this invention.
