Abstract
We propose a new type of ammonia sensor with polyaniline (electroconducting polymer) as the sensitive element. Such sensors are characterized by high sensitivity, wide range of measured concentrations (1–2000 ppm) and high stability of electrical parameters. The use of polyaniline ensures high chemical stability of the sensors in oxidizing ambients. A sensor design based on a silicon chip custom-packed into a linear plastic case is presented. The chip is provided with a system of heaters and thermometers to check the temperature regime of sensor operation. We have studied I – V curves, temperature, concentration and kinetic characteristics of the sensors, as well as their ageing. The possibility for thermoregeneration of the sensor parameters after long-term functioning in an ammonia ambient is emphasized.
