GdBa2Cu3O7-δ-based composite ceramics with various BaAl2O4 contents were prepared by solid-state reaction. From the elemental maps of Al and Cu measured using an electron probe microanalyzer, BaAl2O4 grains were clearly distinguished from GdBa2Cu3O7-δ grains. When a certain voltage was applied to the composite rod electric current decreased abruptly, and a hot spot appeared in the rod. After the appearance of the hot spot, the current remained constant with increasing voltage. The electric power required to melt the rod significantly increased upon adding BaAl2O4. The current after the appearance of the hot spot depended on the oxygen partial pressure in the ambient atmosphere. Compared with the GdBa2Cu3O7-δ rod, the composite rod showed high durability for sensing applications even in high oxygen partial pressure. The results revealed that the BaAl2O4-added GdBa2Cu3O7-δ composite ceramics is a promising material for use as an oxygen sensor exploiting the hot spot.
