Performance evaluation of Cu/Cu₂O and Ni/NiO based potentiometric oxygen sensors in saturated oxygen liquid lead-bismuth eutectic

Key Points

• Performance of Cu/Cu₂O and Ni/NiO sensors shows effectiveness in measuring oxygen levels in lead-bismuth eutectic.
• The Cu/Cu₂O sensor demonstrated a notable response time of under 30 seconds at 500°C.
• Assessment used a comparative analysis of the sensors in a controlled environment, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
• Findings may enhance the design and use of oxygen sensors in advanced metallurgical applications.
