Ammonia gas sensors are very essential in many industries and everyday life. However, their complicated fabrication process, severe environmental fabrication requirements and desorption of residual ammonia molecules result in high cost and hinder their market acceptance. Here, laser direct writing is used to fabricate three parallel porous 3D graphene lines on a polyimide (PI) tape to simply construct an ammonia gas sensor. The middle one works as an ammonia sensing element and the other two on both sides work as heaters to improve the desorption performance of the sensing element to ammonia gas molecules. The graphene lines were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The response and recovery time of the sensor without heating are 214 s and 222 s with a sensitivity of 0.087% ppm−1 for sensing 75 ppm ammonia gas, respectively. The experimental results prove that under the optimized heating temperature of about 70 °C the heaters successfully help implement complete desorption of residual NH3 showing a good sensitivity and cyclic stability.

: 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.

Mixed potential ammonia gas sensors were fabricated by using two sensing materials of Ni3V2O8 and Au-V2O5 as working electrodes, YSZ as electrolyte and platinum as reference electrode. The results have shown that the Ni3V2O8 sensors show cross-sensitivity toward NO gas. However, Au-V2O5 working electrodes displayed a high sensitivity to NH3 as well as fast response and recovery times at high temperatures. Furthermore, the results indicate that the selectivity of Au-V2O5 sensors increases by increasing temperature.

The ZnO nanorods-based ammonia (NH3) gas sensors with different electrode spacing are fabricated and studied. Experimentally, the hexagonal ZnO nanorods were prepared by a hydrothermal method. The diameter and length of ZnO nanorods were about 179±2, 1806±5 nm, respectively. By shrinking the electrode spacing, the sensor response of studied device is improved and the sensor response is enhanced more than ten times in magnitude. The improved NH3 sensing ability caused by shrink electrode spacing is attributed to the presence of more grain boundaries and depletion layers. Therefore, the studied device with the shrink of electrode spacing provides a promise for high-performance ammonia sensing applications.
