Thick-film 20 mol% ZnO-doped RuO2 sensing electrodes (SEs) were fabricated by screen-printing technique on the platinised alumina substrate of the planar electrochemical dissolved oxygen (DO) sensor. The effect of ZnO doping on morphology, electrochemical properties and sensing characteristics of the sensor was investigated. It was found that ZnO doping has not only improved the SE structure, but has also enhanced selectivity of the DO sensor. Selectivity testing exhibited that the presence of Cl−, Li+, SO42−, NO3−, Ca2+, PO43−, Mg2+, Na+ and K+ with a concentration range of 10−7 to 10−1 mol/L in the solution had practically no effect on the sensor's emf. The reason in enhancement of the sensor characteristics could be related to the establishment of the better structured SE as more advanced crystallization is achieved for the doped RuO2-SE.
