ABSTRACT:
Novel constituent materials for gas sensors detecting gaseous impurities in air contain metal oxides and catalyst additives. The materials are prepared by mixing a colloidal solution A of an oxide or a hydroxide of at least one metal selected from the groups Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb, VIa, VIb, VIIb, VIII and the lanthanides and actinides of the periodic system with a solution B containing a salt or a complex compound of at least one metal selected from the group: lanthanum, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, ruthenium, iridium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, osmium, silver, gold, antimony, bismuth, thorium, and irradiating the mixture thus obtained with light of the visible and ultraviolet spectral region in order to photochemically deposit the metal in finely distributed form on the metal oxide or metal hydroxide, respectively. The irradiated solution C thus obtained is processed without substantial change in the size of the colloidal particles of the metal oxide or metal hydroxide, respectively, in order to yield a solid D which subsequently is dried at a temperature which is higher than the intended operating temperature of the gas sensor by a maximum of 700.degree. C., particularly by a maximum of 500.degree. C. and preferably by a maximum of 300.degree. C.
