: This review paper encompasses a study of metal-oxide and their composite based gas sensors used for the detection of ammonia (NH3) gas. Metal-oxide has come into view as an encouraging choice in the gas sensor industry. This review paper focuses on the ammonia sensing principle of the metal oxides. It also includes various approaches adopted for increasing the gas sensitivity of metal-oxide sensors. Increasing the sensitivity of the ammonia gas sensor includes size effects and doping by metal or other metal oxides which will change the microstructure and morphology of the metal oxides. Different parameters that affect the performances like sensitivity, stability, and selectivity of gas sensors are discussed in this paper. Performances of the most operated metal oxides with strengths and limitations in ammonia gas sensing application are reviewed. The challenges for the development of high sensitive and selective ammonia gas sensor are also discussed.

H2S gas is a toxic and hazardous byproduct of the oil and gas industries. It paralyzes the olfactory nerves, with concentrations above 100 ppm, resulting in loss of smell; prolonged inhalation may even cause death. One of the most important semiconducting metal oxides for the detection of H2S is CuxO (x = 1, 2), which is converted to CuxS upon exposure to H2S, leading to a remarkable modulation in the resistance and appearance of an electrical sensing signal. In this review, various morphologies of CuxO in the pristine form, composites of CuxO with other materials, and decoration/doping of noble metals on CuxO nanostructures for the reliable detection of H2S gas are thoroughly discussed. With an emphasis to the detection mechanism of CuxO-based gas sensors, this review presents findings that are of considerable value as a reference.

<span>The performance of gas sensor will differ and vary due to the surrounding environment changing, the way of implementation, and the position of the sensors to the source. To reach a good result on gas sensors implementation, a performance test on sensors is needed. The results of the tests are useful for characterizing the properties of the particular material or device. This paper discusses the performances of metal oxides semiconductor (MOS) sensors. The sensors are tested to determine the sensors' time response, sensors' peak duration, sensors' sensitivity, and sensors' stability of the sensor when applied to the various sources at different range. Three sources were used in experimental test, namely: ethanol, methanol, and acetone. The gas sensors characteristics are analyzed in open sampling method in order to see the sensors' sensitivity to the uncertainty disturbances, such as wind. The result shows that metal oxides semiconductor sensor was responsive to the 3 sources not only in static but also dynamic conditions. The expected outcome of this study is to predict the MOS sensors' performance when they are applied in robotic implementation. This performance was considered as the training datasets of the sensor for odor classification in this research. From the experiments, It was got, in dynamic experiment, the senrors has average of precision of 93.8-97%, the accuracy 93.3-96.7%, and the recall 93.3-96.7%. This values indicates that the sensors were selective to the odor they sensed.</span>
