A limiting current oxygen sensor was prepared with YDC solid electrolyte and a ZDC dense diffusion barrier layer by employing platinum pasting bonding. Sensing characteristics of the sensor were obtained at different conditions, including temperature (T), oxygen concentration (x(O2)) and water vapor pressure (p(H2O)), and the influence of various conditions on sensing performance was studied. The long-term stability of the sensor was measured in an oxygen concentration of 1.2% and at a temperature of 800 \u00b0C for 120 h. XRD results show that the phase structure of both YDC and ZDC belongs to the cubic phase. SEM results show that both YDC and ZDC layers are dense layers, which are then qualified to be the composition materials of the sensor. The limiting current (IL) of the sensor is obtained and the sensor exhibits good sensing characteristics to satisfy the Knudsen model. Log(IL\u00b7T) depends linearly on 1000\/T with a squared correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9904; IL depends linearly on x(O2) with an R2 of 0.9726; and sensing characteristics are not affected by p(H2O). It was found that the oxygen sensor has good long-term stability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19163511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,12]],"date-time":"2019-08-12T06:38:02Z","timestamp":1565591882000},"page":"3511","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A limiting Current Oxygen Sensor Constituted of (CeO2)0.95(Y2O3)0.05 as Solid Electrolyte Layer and (CeO2)0.75(ZrO2)0.25 as Dense Diffusion Barrier Layer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Xiangnan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}]},{"given":"Jingkun","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ssi.2015.10.012","article-title":"A review of high-temperature electrochemical sensors based on stabilized zirconia","volume":"283","author":"Liu","year":"2015","journal-title":"Solid State Ion."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"763","DOI":"10.1016\/j.electacta.2013.07.005","article-title":"A high performance limiting current oxygen sensor with Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 electrolyte and La0.8Sr0.2Co0.8Fe0.2O3 diffusion barrier","volume":"108","author":"Han","year":"2013","journal-title":"Electrochim.
