Abstract: Melt-quenching technique was used to prepare iron tellurite glasses in the system Fe2O3-Sb-TeO2. The findings indicate that the variation in conductivity on alternate switching of gas atmospheres between oxygen and argon is reproducible. Moreover, the results suggest the practicality of the 15Fe2O3-5Sb-80TeO2 glass as an O2 gas sensor as evidenced by its high oxygen gas sensitivity.
