Abstract:
A sensor (10) is disclosed that comprises an electrolyte (30) disposed between and in intimate contact with a sensing electrode (20) and a reference electrode (22). A protective coating (31) is disposed on the protective layer (32) adjacent to the sensing electrode (20). The protective coating (31) comprises a mixture of a metal oxide, a zeolite, and an alumina. A method for making the sensor (10) is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The sensor (30) comprises an electrolyte (20) disposed between a sensing electrode (21) and a reference electrode (22), with a protective layer (31) contacting the sensing electrode (21). At least one of the sensing electrode (21) and the reference electrode (22) has a porosity of about 15% or greater. The method for manufacturing the sensor comprises employing a slip. The slip is applied to the electrolyte (20) to form the electrodes (21, 22), and the electrolyte (20) is heated to a temperature of less than about 1,500°C.
