Description

The performance of oxygen sensor with liquid type reference electrode (RE) Bi/Bi2O3 and solid type RE Fe/Fe3O4 were investigated in the liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) with three oxygen potentials in the temperature range of 450deg-600degC. PbO, Fe3O4, and Cr2O3 were mixed with the liquid LBE to make the oxygen potential in the liquid LBE equilibrium with their formation potentials. The results showed that the cell potential exhibited from both of oxygen sensors could have good agreement with the theoretical ones in the LBE with PbO and Fe3O4. However, the cell potential deviated from the theoretical one in the LBE with the low oxygen potential equilibrium with the formation potentials of Cr2O3. (author)
