A sensor operating at room temperature has low power consumption and is beneficial for the detection of environmental pollutants such as ammonia and benzene vapor. In this study, polyaniline (PANI) is made from aniline under acidic conditions by chemical oxidative polymerization and doped with tin dioxide (SnO2) at a specific percentage. The PANI/SnO2 hybrid material obtained is then ground at room temperature. The results of scanning electron microscopy show that the prepared powder comprises nanoscale particles and has good dispersibility, which is conducive to gas adsorption. The thermal decomposition temperature of the powder and its stability are measured using a differential thermo gravimetric analyzer. At 20 °C, the ammonia gas and benzene vapor gas sensing of the PANI/SnO2 hybrid material was tested at concentrations of between 1 and 7 ppm of ammonia and between 0.4 and 90 ppm of benzene vapor. The tests show that the response sensitivities to ammonia and benzene vapor are essentially linear. The sensing mechanisms of the PANI/SnO2 hybrid material to ammonia and benzene vapors were analyzed. The results demonstrate that doped SnO2 significantly affects the sensitivity, response time, and recovery time of the PANI material.

In this study, we developed a new chemi-resistive, flexible and selective ammonia (NH3) gas sensor. The sensor was prepared by depositing thin film of polyaniline-cobalt ferrite (PAni-CoFe2O4) nanocomposite on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method. The prepared PAni-CoFe2O4 nanocomposite and flexible PET-PAni-CoFe2O4 sensor were evaluated for their thermal stability, surface morphology and materials composition. The response to NH3 gas of the developed sensor was examined thoroughly in the range of 1–50 ppm at room temperature. The sensor with 50 wt% CoFe2O4 NPs content showed an optimum selectivity to NH3 molecules, with a 118.3% response towards 50 ppm in 24.3 s response time. Furthermore, the sensor showed good reproducibility, ultra-low detection limit (25 ppb) and excellent flexibility. In addition, the relative humidity effect on the sensor performance was investigated. Consequently, the flexible PET-PAni-CoFe2O4 sensor is a promising candidate for trace-level on-site sensing of NH3 in wearable electronic or portable devices.

The nanocomposite of polyaniline (PAni)-coated Carbon nanotubes (CNT) for NH3gas sensing application are presented in this paper. The nanorods of PAni/CNT nanocomposite was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline using ammonium persulfate in acidic medium. The aniline was adsorbed in CNT by vacuum absorption method. The morphologies and properties of the nanocomposite have been characterized by SEM, XRD and FTIR respectively. Thin sensor of PAni/CNT nanorods was prepared by spin coating method. Finally, the response of these composite films for NH3gas was evaluated by monitoring the change in electrical resistance at room temperature. With compared to the pure PAni and CNT, tSubscript texthe nanorods of PAni/CNT composite films show a higher sensitivity.

Polypyrrole (PPy)–Zn2SnO4 nanocomposites with different weight percentages (0–20%) of Zn2SnO4 were successfully prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization. The prepared nanocomposites were deposited on epoxy glass substrate using a spin coating technique and have been characterized using various techniques such as X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The physicochemical characterization confirmed well-formed dodecylbenzene (DBSA)-doped PPy–Zn2SnO4 nanocomposites with granular morphology and high porosity. Among various nanocompositions, DBSA-doped PPy–Zn2SnO4 (10 wt.%) nanocomposite was found to be highly sensitive towards NH3 vapor at room temperature i.e. with a chemiresistive response of 5.44% at 27 ppm with a reasonably fast recovery time of 76 s. Additionally, it shows a linear response and appropriate recovery time at all concentrations of NH3 vapor. The DBSA-doped PPy–Zn2SnO4 nanocomposite response is four times better than pure PPy toward NH3 vapor at room temperature. Therefore, it is expected that such material with excellent gas sensing properties at room temperature can be used for high-performance NH3 sensors.

A new hybrid material has been developed by mixing a sandwich-type double-decker, Eu[Pc(OC4H9)8]2 = 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octabutoxyphthalocyaninate] with acidified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (aMWCNTs) through non-covalent interactions. The UV-vis spectrum, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope have been employed to reveal the [Formula: see text]-aggregate mode and optimized morphology of Eu[Pc(OC4H9)8]2 molecules in the Eu[Pc(OC4H9)8]2/aMWCNTs hybrid material. The gas-sensing devices based on this hybrid material are fabricated by a simple solvent-processing quasi-Langmuir–Shäfer (QLS) progress. The [Formula: see text]-type and [Formula: see text]-type response is shown by the Eu[Pc(OC4H9)8]2/aMWCNTs hybrid film at room temperature. The detection limit of the hybrid for ammonia and nitrogen dioxide gas is 0.5 ppm and 0.3 ppm, respectively.
