The characteristics of the oxygen reduction and the oxygen sensor based on the preparing LaF3 (screen printed)/Pt/ceramic plate (home made) were studied in this study. The sensitivity and detection limit of the oxygen sensor based on LaF3/Pt/ceramic plate electrode at the room temperature were obtained to be 4.88 μA %^(-1) and 0.05 %, respectively. The diffusion resistance within the gas-film could be neglected, and the effect of gas flow rate on the sensitivity of oxygen sensor was insignificant for the gas flow rate greater than 200 ml min^(-1). The response time (t90) and the recovery time (t10) of the oxygen sensor based on LaF3/Pt/ceramic plate electrode were evaluated to be 2 and 2.5 min, respectively.
