Abstract

Symmetrical Pt|YSZ|Pt sensors were produced by screen printing with frit-containing and fritless Pt pastes and fired at 950, 1100, and 1300 °C. Subsequently, the sensors were operated by pulsed polarization, and the NO sensitivity was investigated. The sensitivity of the sensors with fritless pastes was found to be significantly higher. The influence of the firing temperature was low in contrast to the influence of the paste. The low NO sensitivity of the frit-containing electrodes was attributed to a blocking effect that probably occurs at the triple-phase boundaries. Therefore, the oxygen transport through the sensor is inhibited, which, however, seems to be necessary for the sensor effect.
