A new lambda sensor was constructed with a plate-type structure using a single YSZ (Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) solid electrolyte plate shared by electrochemical oxygen pumping and sensing cells. A reference electrode with the constant oxygen concentration was used instead of air reference electrode. Oxygen was formed by the electrochemical oxygen pumping from the electrode 1 to the electrode 3 which was covered by a porous layer for gas diffusion barrier. The voltages between the electrode 2 and 3 were used as the sensing signal. A protective layer was established on the electrodes 1 and 2. The sensor was fabricated by co-firing of laminate at 1450{degrees}C, for 2 hrs. The dynamic response characteristics were tested in the exhaust gas of a real engine and the static ones were studied in a controlled test gas containing N{sub 2}, O{sub 2}, CO, and CO{sub 2} gases.
