A new all-solid-state pH sensor combining an Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) for pH measurements and an all-solid-state reference electrode using a lithium ion conducting ceramic is presented. The use of a liquid internal reference in commercialized pH and reference electrodes leads to important drawbacks that considerably limit their use for in-situ measurements. The manufacturing and properties of an all-solid-state reference electrode made of the ceramic Li0.3La0.57TiO3 (LLTO) and an all-solid-state pH microelectrode are described. Both electrodes are combined to prepare an all-solid-state pH sensor which can be used in different applications such as medicine, food industry or oil or water drilling industries.
