This review paper is devoted to an extended analysis of ammonia gas sensors based on carbon nanomaterials. It provides a detailed comparison of various types of active materials used for the detection of ammonia, e.g., carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene, graphene oxide, and related materials. Different parameters that can affect the performance of chemiresistive gas sensors are discussed. The paper also gives a comparison of the sensing characteristics (response, response time, recovery time, operating temperature) of gas sensors based on carbon nanomaterials. The results of our tests on ammonia gas sensors using various techniques are analyzed. The problems related to the recovery of sensors using various approaches are also considered. Finally, the impact of relative humidity on the sensing behavior of carbon nanomaterials of various different natures was estimated.

: 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.

The various gas sensors were designed for detection of different gases in the air using different oxides and impurities [1-3]. For example the manufacturing of ammonia sensors on the basis of CuxS-micro-porous-Si structure includes manufacture of micro-porous silicon, drawing on it of SiO2 isolating layer, and then the CuxS layer [4, 5]. The special equipment for all these processes is needed. More usable method for sensor production is so-called soft chemistry or sol–gel synthesis [6, 7].

Gas sensing continues attracting research communities due to its potential applications in the sectors military, industrial and commercial. A special emphasis is placed on the use of carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, as sensing materials. The chapter will be divided as follows: In the first part, a description of the main topologies and materials (carbon nanomaterials plus polymers, metals, ceramics or combinations between these groups) used to fabricate gas sensors based on graphene and carbon nanotubes that are operated by conductance or resistance electrical, is realized. Next, different mathematical models that can be used to simulate gas sensors based on these materials are presented. In the third part, the impact of the graphene and carbon nanotubes on gas sensors is exemplified with technical advances achieved until now. Finally, it is provided a prospective analysis on the role of the gas sensors based on carbon nanomaterials in the next decades.

Polyaniline (PANI) nanostructures are successfully prepared and deposited by in-situ and drop-coating on glass substrates without using any template. By changing synthesis and deposition method, a new morphology of nanostructures, “the cauliflower-like structure”, is developed. These nanostructures were then tested as optical ammonia gas sensors by measuring the optical absorbance variations at 632 nm at different NH3 concentrations. The results show a strong dependence of the morphology on the deposition method. The in-situ one leads to better performances compared to the drop coated one. Protonation /deprotonation is the mechanism of interaction between NH3 molecules and PANI nanostructures.
