Relationship between CO2 Sensor Voltage Response and Phase Equilibrium of Solid Electrolyte Na, K-β/β''''-Al2O3

A type of CO2 sensor based on oxygen concentration cell was designed as following: Cell I: Pt | Au, O2,CO2 | Na2COa(Au)|NKBA(Au)|YSZ|O2, CO2|Pt or Cell II: Pt|Au, O2, CO2|K2CO3(Au)|NKBA(Au)|YSZ|O2, CO2|Pt.(Na,K-β/β″-Al2O3 is named by NKBA). The sensor signal is consistent with the Nemstian slope within the region of phase equilibrium for Na, K-β/β″-Al2O3 material. The relationship between CO2 sensor voltage response and phase equilibrium of solid electrolyte Na, K-β/β″-Al2O3 is discussed in this paper.
