sensor is of the self-powered, diffusion limited,
metal-air battery type comprising an anode, electrolyte, diffusion barrier and air cathode as shown
below:
At the cathode oxygen is reduced to hydroxyl ions according to the equation:

 OHeOHO 442

The hydroxyl ions in turn oxidise the metal anode as follows:

 eOHPbOOHPb 42242
