Abstract BaCe_(0.95)Y_(0.05)O_(3-α) electrolyte is prepared by solid state reaction. In the temperature range of 450-1000℃, the conductivity is 10~(-3)-10~(-2) S·cm~(-1),the activation energy in air is 0.49 eV, measured by impedance spectroscopy technology. The hydrogen sensors for measureing the hydrogen activity in molten Al alloy is manufactured, using BaCe_(0.95)Y_(0.05)O_(3-α) as solid electrolyte, metal hydride as reference electrode and Mo wire as lead wire. The results showed that the sensor has a high sensitivity and a good stability within the range of experiment temperature.(Correspondent: WANG Changzhen, professor, Faculty of Metallurgical Physical Chemistry, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110006)
