Oxygen Sensors for Industrial Application

The present work aimed to study a family of solid ceramic electrolytes based on magnesium oxide doped zirconium oxide, usually identified as Mg-PSZ (zirconia partially stabilized with magnesia), used in the manufacture of oxygen sensors for molten metals. A set of electrolytes was prepared by mechan...
