Abstract
An innovative ammonia (NH3) gas sensor on a micro-hotplate MEMS substrate working at room temperature was developed, leveraging in-situ polymerization of polyaniline (PANI) to integrate with a metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-66. The PANI@UiO-66 sensor demonstrated remarkable gas sensing performance of 183.3 % response for 1 ppm NH3 with rapid response and recovery times (17 s / 110 s) and low theoretical limit (LOD) reaching 0.634 ppb. Notably, the sensor exhibited exceptional selectivity and long-term stability. The excellent gas-sensing performance is primarily attributed to the porous structure of UiO-66, which increases the number of active sites and enhances the protonation of polyaniline. The results indicate that the PANI@UiO-66 sensor is a high-performance candidate for portable and lightweight applications in NH3 related disease monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals.
