Abstract
The non-Nernstian behavior of zirconia-based electrochemical and CO sensors with various semiconducting oxides as sensing electrodes was extensively studied in the temperature range 450-700°C. Both pellets and tape-cast layers of yttria-stabilized zirconia were used for the fabrication of the sensors. It was found that the gas-sensing mechanism of the sensors cannot be explained always by the mixed potential theory. When semiconducting oxides are used as sensing electrodes, the semiconductor sensing mechanism and the adsorption-desorption behavior of the different oxides dominate the sensor response if both metal and oxide are exposed to the same environment. © 2004 The Electrochemical Society.
