Ceramic electrolyte oxygen sensors consisting of stabilized zirconia with platinum electrodes were compared in flowing gases in a laboratory apparatus. The oxygen partial pressures indicated by these sensors in reactive gases were substantially different. Gases containing CO produced a greater difference than gases containing H 2 . The responses of these sensors were attributed to their relative catalytic behavior.
