material with the cerium additives have high sensitivities to hydrogen in a wide range of its concentrations, fast response time and satisfactory repetability. Good functional parameters of the sensors making them to be usefull for their application in practice. Particularly, they may be used for creating high sensitive gas devices purposed to measure contents of toxic and explosive gases in air.
