An evaluation of the sensitivity of a vanadium pentoxide/poly-o-methoxyaniline hybrid material for the preparation of an ammonia gas sensor was conducted using casting deposition. The study found that the film exhibited increased complex impedance with higher concentrations of ammonia, making it a promising candidate for ammonia sensing applications.
The sensitivity evaluation of a vanadium pentoxide/poly-o-methoxyaniline hybrid material (V2O5/POMA) using casting deposition for the preparation of an ammonia gas sensor was investigated herein. V2O5/POMA was produced by the intercalation of V2O5 via sol-gel and o-methoxyaniline monomers. V2O5/POMA thin film deposition onto electrodes was performed by casting. The electrical studies confirmed that V2O5/POMA exhibited increased complex impedance as a function of increasing ammonia concentration. The conductivity of the film decreased with increasing ammonia concentration due to the de-doping process. According to theoretical adjustment, a significant increase in the bulk and interfacial electrical resistance in the presence of ammonia was observed. The combination of these effects contributed to the high sensitivity of the prepared film in both the real and imaginary components of the complex impedance for ammonia gas in a range of 0 to 100 ppm, which indicated that the film is a good candidate for use as an ammonia sensing material.
