“…Since 1933, Fischer and Ackermann proposed a new electromotive force measurement (EMF method) to investigate the Gibbs free energy for oxygen dissolution in liquid iron, cobalt, nickel and copper, the concept of the EMF method has been expanded to ranges of metals. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Kiukkola employed the stabilized zirconia solid electrolyte to measure the oxygen activity in liquid Cu-O system and Cu-Fe-O system. Furthermore, he also extended his results and suggested the possibility of investigating the standard free energy of formation of CoO by immersing the Ni/NiO and Co/CoO electromotive sensor simultaneously in the same copper bath.…”
