In one embodiment a tin oxide based electrode is disclosed. The tin oxide- based electrode includes a base material of tin oxide, a resistivity modifier, a sintering aid, and a corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibitor forms a solid solution with the base material and has a melting point not less than about 1700°C and a partial pressure of not greater than about 1.0E-7 atmospheres atl500°C. The corrosion inhibitor further includes 0 - 4.0wt% ZrO2 based on the total weight of the composition. |
