NO_x-Sensing Characteristics of Sensor with La_0.75Sr_0.25Cr_0.5Mn_0.5O₃ Sensing Electrode

Abstract

Electrochemical sensors based on tubular yttria-stabilized zerconia (YSZ) with the perovskite-type oxide as a sensing-electrode (SE), which is prepared by sol-gel method, were fabricated and examined for NO2 detection in the temperature range 400~700°C. The results show that La0.75Sr0.25Cr0.5Mn0.5O3(LSCM), shows extreme sensitivity to NO2. The EMF varies linearly as a function of the concentration of NO2 (0 ~ 463 ppm) at 500 °C.
