Zusammenfassung:A contamination-resistant sensor element and methods for making the same are provided. A sensor element may include a contamination-resistant coating on at least a portion thereof. The coating may comprise gamma-delta alumina and lithium oxide and may have a thickness of about 100 to about 600 microns and a porosity of about 20 to about 70 percent. The method may include using gamma-delta alumina and lithium oxide to form a mixture, applying the mixture to at least a portion of a sensor element, and temperature treated the mixture to form a contamination-resistant coating on the surface of the measuring cell.
