Abstract
An electrochemical gas sensor comprises: a working electrode for exposure to a gas to be sensed; a counter electrode having an outer periphery; a reservoir for electrolyte; wick means providing a path for electrolyte to pass from the reservoir, around a first part or parts of the outer periphery of the counter electrode to provide electrolytic continuity between the counter electrode and the working electrode; and a gas diffusion means providing a path for gas to diffuse to or from a second part or parts of the outer periphery of the counter electrode.
