In order to reduce the emission of NOx in the exhaust, strict emission standards have been issued by most countries,and NOx sensor is essential sensing element for controlling the car exhaust.Therefore, it’s extremely urgent to exploit a NOx sensor with high sensitivity, perfect selectivity and reliable performance. Currently, the researches on NOx sensor mainly focus on electrode materials. This thesis focuses on the electrode material of NOx sensor, and mainly studied the performance of the electrode sample made by doping WO3. into NiO and Cr2O3. Our specific works are as follows: Obtain NiO ,Cr2O3 and WO3 powder with small particle size and uniform disperse using nickel nitrate, chromic nitrate and ammonium tungstate as raw materials. The results of the research show that: homemade electrode material powder have narrow particle size distribution,small particle size , high specific surface area; the special sintering temperature of WO3 powder is not fit to be used as electrode materials. Preparing the electrode slurry by doping WO3 into NiO, and screen printing them onto YSZ substrate. Then sinter the substrate into thick electrode membrane under different temperatures, and thus make them into electrode samples. We have studied the affect of sintering temperature and the doping amount of WO3 on the NO sensing character. Theresults of t he research show that: WO3 doping can change the microstructure of NiO electrode: the sublimation in the form of free state WO3 generate loose porous, NiWO4 precipitation hindered growing up of the grain ; appropriate WO3 doped NiO electrode material on the potential response rate and NO response amplitude can be increased obviously. In the condition of electrode sintering temperature of 1000 ℃ , the optimal doping amount WO3 for 20 wt. %; and 20 wt. % WO3 doping NiO electr
