Global Zirconia Oxygen Sensors Market is Segmented by Type into Thimble Type, Planar Type, Others. The zirconium dioxide, or zirconia, Oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) is has its base on a solid-state electrochemical fuel cell termed as the Nernst cell. Zirconia oxygen sensor is an impermeable tube-shaped zirconia (zirconium oxide) element with a closed end and is coated externally and internally with porous metal electrodes, typically platinum. At temperatures, above about 400°C, the zirconia becomes an oxygen ion conductor, which results in a voltage being produced between the electrodes. The value of the voltage is dependent upon the differences between the partial pressures of the oxygen in the sample and the oxygen in a reference gas (generally air) and is determined by the Nernst equation. An output voltage of 0.2 V (200 mV) DC does represent a lean mixture of fuel and oxygen, where the quantity of oxygen entering the cylinder is sufficient for fully oxidizing the carbon monoxide (CO) produced in burning the fuel and air, into carbon dioxide (CO2). An output voltage of 0.8 V (800 mV) DC does represent a rich mixture, one that is high in unburned fuel and low in remaining oxygen. The ideal set point is about 0.45 V (450 mV) DC.

The sensor is more sensitive near the stoichiometric point (where λ = 1) and less sensitive when either very rich or very lean. A fouled or an aging sensor has a slower response time, which can downgrade system performance. The sensor has a rugged stainless steel construction internally as well as superficially. Owing to this, the sensor has a
