Abstract

The results of studies of oxide electrodes for solid electrolyte potentiometric sensors for analyzing air-combustible gas (combustible gas is CO or H2) and nitrogen-combustible gas mixtures are presented. The characteristics of the electrochemical cells based on Zr0.82Y0.18O1.9 and Ce0.8(Sm0.8Ca0.2)0.2O2-δ solid electrolytes were considered. The dependences of the response of the potential of the measuring electrodes of simple oxides SnO2 and ZnO and complex oxides with a perovskite structure La0.8Sr0.2CrO3 and La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 on the concentration of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in air were studied. The most promising application was found to be hydrogen determination in the air-hydrogen mixture for sensors with a SnO2 measuring electrode with a zirconia electrolyte and CO analysis in the air-carbon monoxide mixture for sensors with a ZnO measuring electrode. The measuring electrodes and SnO2, La0.8Sr0.2CrO3, ZnO, and La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 on ceria and zirconia electrolytes showed satisfactory sensitivity to hydrogen in the hydrogen-nitrogen gas mixture at hydrogen concentrations of up to 100 ppm and at temperatures of 500–550°C.
