[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a novel moisture-sensitive resistor with low resistance. [Prior Art] Sintered bodies of metal oxides have been widely used as humidity-sensitive resistors used in conventional humidity sensors. Conventionally, the metal oxide is TiO 2 ,
A combination of MgCr 2 O 4 and V 2 O 5 was known. [Problems to be solved by the invention] In recent years, various devices have tended to become smaller.
Accordingly, there has been a demand for miniaturization of humidity sensors used as devices. However, when a moisture-sensitive resistor is made by sintering conventionally known metal oxides, the humidity range is 20°C and 30% relative humidity (hereinafter referred to as 30% RH).
Electrical resistance in the vicinity is extremely high. To measure humidity in a low humidity range using this type of humidity sensor, it is necessary to attach a large electrode to the humidity-sensitive resistor to lower the apparent resistance value, or to use a complicated electrical circuit. These conventional methods have the disadvantage that the humidity sensor and the device using it become large and expensive. Therefore, the present inventors conducted extensive research on a humidity-sensitive resistor that can miniaturize humidity sensors, that is, a humidity-sensitive resistor for humidity sensors that has low resistance and can be measured without the need for a complicated electric circuit, and as a result, they have arrived at the present invention. . [Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the present invention contains 60 to 99.8 mol% of titanium oxide, as well as one or more compounds of Me 3 VO 4 (Me is Li, Na or K) and chromium oxide. The gist is a moisture-sensitive resistor made of a sintered body of a composition containing the following. Here, the composition ratios of Me 3 VO 4 , chromium oxide, and titanium oxide are not particularly limited, but preferred ranges are Me 3 VO 4 0.1-20 mol%, chromium oxide 0.1-20 mol%, and titanium oxide 99.8%. ~
It is preferable to adjust the amount to 60 mol%. Me 3 VO 4
Me is Li, Na, or K, and compounds in which Me contains a plurality of the above elements are also included in the present invention. Note that Me is most preferably Li. The moisture-sensitive resistor of the present invention may be manufactured by any conventional method, and the method will be described as follows. First, a composition containing Me 3 VO 4 powder, chromium oxide powder, and titanium oxide powder in the desired ratio is packed into a mold of a predetermined shape and press-molded, and the molded product is sintered at a predetermined temperature to make it moisture sensitive. A resistor is obtained. The above sintering temperature varies somewhat depending on the composition, but is approximately 700°C or higher, and the sintering time is approximately 30 minutes or more. [Example] Example, Comparative Example Me 3 VO 4 , chromium oxide, and titanium oxide powder were mixed as shown in Table 1, and then 10 mmφ×
Each moisture-sensitive resistor was press-molded to a size of 0.5 mm and sintered at 850°C for 1 hour. Electrode paste was screen printed on both sides of each of the obtained humidity sensitive resistors and baked to produce a humidity sensor. Connect a resistance measuring device to these humidity sensors,
The results of measuring electrical resistance at 20°C, 30%RH and 20°C, 80%RH are shown in the same table. As a comparative example, a humidity sensor was prepared in the same manner as in the above example, except that sintering was performed at 1200 to 1300 °C for 1 hour for a conventionally known metal oxide, and the electrical resistance was measured. The results are also listed in the same table.

As shown in Table 1, the electrical resistance of the conventional (comparative example) humidity-sensitive resistor is 10 3 KΩ in a low humidity region, that is, at a humidity of 20°C and 30% RH, whereas the products of the present invention have a low electrical resistance value. showed that. Therefore, the humidity sensor using the humidity-sensitive resistor of the present invention can measure in a low humidity range, and the attached electrode can be made smaller, so the humidity sensor itself can be made smaller.
