CONSTITUTION:The Ag/AgCl electrode 3 and the salt of the ion conductor are housed in the protective tube 2 made of the Al2SiO4. The fused salt on the outside of the protective tube 2 and the internal Ag/AgCl electrode 3 are electrically connected by the liquid junction rod 1 contg., by molar %, one or two kinds of over 20 to 25% Y2O3, over 33 to 39% La2O3 in the balance ZrO2. The Ag/AgCl electrode is fixed by means of a piston 10 and an O-ring 11 in the protective tube in such a manner that the position thereof does not vary; further, the electrode is introduced through a sealing plug 12 to the outside of an electrode holder 7 and is given an electrical contact. An electrode holder 7 is installed via a cap 6 of a container housing the high-temp. fused salt and has a water-cooling chamber 8 to avoid the heating up of the body of the electrode body to a high temp. The water-cooling chamber is fixed by a fastening metal 9.

Conventional technology metal materials are used in high-temperature gas environments, for example (Q-NaC).
When covered with a film of molten salt made of I2 or KCt-LiCil, it may suffer significant damage called high-temperature corrosion. This phenomenon has been observed in high-temperature combustion parts such as boiler tubes for thermal power generation, gas turbine rotor blades, and boiler tubes for waste incineration.

In particular, in garbage incineration boilers, the combustion temperature is raised from the conventional 400°C to 500°C to 700°C to improve combustion efficiency, and the materials used in the past suffer from high-temperature corrosion. Additionally, due to the recent deterioration in the oil supply situation, coal-fired boilers have been reconsidered and are now being operated at temperatures around 900°C. It is difficult to reproduce these high-temperature corrosion problems, and research has been limited to measuring weight changes by immersing materials in a molten salt environment for a long time.

However, in the development of new materials, it is difficult to develop new materials unless the mechanism by which high-temperature corrosion occurs is clarified. Electrochemical measurements are available as a means of elucidating the mechanism of corrosion, and for corrosion in aqueous solutions, for example,
Although a reference electrode capable of obtaining a stable potential as disclosed in Publication No. 31953 has been established, a measurement method for corrosion in molten soil has not yet been established as there is no stable reference electrode. CoRROSION, published in 1886, is a reference electrode for electrochemical measurements in molten salts.
Paper, Vol. 42, No. 578 Beniji discloses a simple structure, but it is applicable only to a limited range of environments and is not general.

Means for Solving the Problems The gist of the present invention is to house an Ag/mugCQ electrode and an ion conductor salt in a protection tube made of M2SjOn, and to contain Y2O3 in mole % of more than 20 to 25%; The molten salt on the outside of the protection tube and the Ag/AgCl electrode inside are electrically connected by a liquid junction rod containing one or two types of La2O3 of more than 33 to 39% with the remaining ZrO2.

The Ag/AgCl electrode is fixed by a piston 10 and an O-ring 11 so that its position does not change within the protective tube, and is further guided to the outside of the electrode holder 7 through a sealing plug 12 to provide electrical contact. The seal plug 12 is fixed by a nut 13 and a ring 14, and the position of the protection tube body is also suppressed from changing. The electrode holder 7 is installed through a lid 6 of a container containing high-temperature molten salt, and has a water cooling chamber 8 to prevent the main body of the electrode holder from becoming hot. The electrical potential of the test electrode is obtained by immersing the protective tube of the reference electrode, which is fixed by a stopper 9 in the cold water cooling chamber, into a high-temperature molten salt.
