  • Title: Ammonia gas sensor based on electrosynthesized polypyrrole films.
    Author: Carquigny S, Sanchez JB, Berger F, Lakard B, Lallemand F.
    Journal: Talanta; 2009 Apr 15; 78(1):199-206. PubMed ID: 19174225.
    Abstract:
    In this work, design and fabrication of micro-gas-sensors, polymerization and deposition of poly(pyrrole) thin films as sensitive layer for the micro-gas-sensors by electrochemical processing, and characterization of the polymer films by FTIR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), are reported. The change in conductance of thin polymer layers is used as a sensor signal. The behaviours, including sensitivity, reproducibility and reversibility, to various ammonia gas concentrations ranging from 8 ppm to 1000 ppm are investigated. The influence of the temperature on the electrical response of the sensors is also studied. The experimental results show that these ammonia gas sensors are efficient since they are sensitive to ammonia, reversible and reproducible at room temperature.
