ABSTRACT:
Electrochemical sensors are provided having improved sensitivity, stability and dirability. In accordance with preferred embodiments, such sensors comprise protective sheath means having at least one opening. Within the sheath and sealed thereto at the opening is a sensing body comprising metal oxide and an oxide from group IIA or IIB of the periodic table. Reference electrode means are also provided. Methods for monitoring the concentration of a species in a melt are also provided.
