A zirconia sensor is a device that uses zirconium dioxide to measure the concentration of oxygen in gases, commonly employed in automotive and industrial applications for monitoring exhaust emissions and combustion processes. Its operation is based on the principle of solid-state electrochemical cells, where the zirconia acts as an electrolyte that conducts oxygen ions at high temperatures, enabling precise oxygen level detection.
