Abstract
We have investigated gas sensing properties of cerium oxide using A.C. impedance technique. The impedance analysis generally can divide d.c. resistance to three type contributions, R = Rb + Rgb + Rei, where R, Rb, Rgb, and Rei are d.c. resistance, bulk resistance, grain boundary resistance, and electrode interface resistance, respectively. In the case of cerium oxide, bulk resistance dominates the whole resistance response to odor gases.
