Abstract
The invention relates to a method for applying a cermet electrode layer to a sintered electrolyte. This layer consists of a mixture of an ion-conducting oxide and a semiprecious metal oxide or precious metal oxide. According to the invention, the ion-conducting oxide is calcined without the presence of the (semi)precious metal oxide in order to provide for lateral electron conductivity, while the sintering of the mixture of the electrolyte takes place at as low a temperature as possible.
