- Additional information
- Mg-ion conductors are important for developing Mg-batteries, potentiometric gas sensors and Mg-sensors for in-line process control and monitoring of alloying/casting/recycling operations in non-ferrous metallurgical industries, leading to significant cost and energy savings. Building on preliminary 2016 work describing the sol-gel synthesis of a new family of inorganic solid electrolytes which undergo solid-state phase transformation between 1173-1273K (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpcc.6b05036), this work developed and tested sensing capabilities of the material forming the basis for a successful KTP (Innovate UK-KTP008993) proposal with Rautomead Ltd to produce a sensor for measuring Mg in molten metals that integrates with the process control system during continuous casting.
