High temperature advanced sensing materials have generated high demand due the high accuracy temperature measurements requirements for process optimization, controlling and sensing. Some technological applications of harsh conditions sensing include monitoring tiles of space shuttles, rotating bearings in aircraft engines, turbines, jet engines dynamics and chemical reactors. High temperature conditions limit the sensing strategies, where typically traditional metal thermocouples are unstable, and the sensing options are limited to optical spectroscopy methods. Recently, refractory semiconductors thick- and thin-film thermocouples have been developed and, in many cases, preferred over conventional metallic thermocouples due their spatial resolution, and capability of direct deposition on any surface. Rare earth chromites ceramics materials, exhibit some properties of interest for high temperature sensing technologies development, such as: high microstructure and sintering stability, excellent conductive behavior at high temperatures, and matching thermal expansion coefficients relative to other conductors and refractory ceramics. In this work, high performance ultra-high temperature thermocouples using p-type and n-type doped lanthanum chromites materials were fabricated and tested at temperatures up to 1500 o C. Thermoelectric voltage, Seebeck Coefficients were established for all devices, evidencing high stability and performance in prolongated operational time and harsh conditions.
