A new strategy for preparing a novel CaO-Al2O3 auxiliary electrode coating for sulfur sensor by infiltrating Ca2+ and Al3+ into the porous ZrO2(MgO) backbone was proposed in this work. The phase composition and microstructure of the auxiliary electrode was detected and correlated to the electrochemical performance, while the application of the sulfur sensor in the liquid iron was presented. It is demonstrated that the CaO-Al2O3 particles were homogenously coated on the ZrO2(MgO) backbone and formed well connected network, which could effectively improve the reaction area between CaO-Al2O3 and [S] as well as enhancing the ionic conductivity and bonding strength of the auxiliary electrode. The assembled sulfur sensor possessed a superior sensing performance of theoretical response, simultaneously the Nernst relationship between the sensor EMF output and the linearity of the sulfur concentration occurred along with the stable, continuous, and reproducible response.
