The application belongs to the technical field of sensors, and discloses an
ammonia gas-sensitive sensor and a preparation method thereof. The
ammonia gas-sensitive sensor comprises an insulating substrate and an interdigital
electrode, wherein: the interdigital
electrode is arranged on the insulating substrate, and the surfaces of the interdigital
electrode and the insulating substrate are both coated with a gas-sensitive
coating; the
raw material for preparing the gas-sensitive
coating comprises a gas-sensitive material, and the chemical general formula of the gas-sensitive material is: Ba 1‑x Y x TiO3, wherein 0.002<=x<=0.01. The application introduces specific
rare earth ions Y 3+ into the A-site of the BaTiO3 lattice for donor
doping, utilizes Y 3+ to replace Ba 2+ , and generates a donor
doping effect, which increases the free
electron concentration in the
conduction band of the material, not only significantly improves the initial
conductivity of the material in the air, and provides an excellent
signal base for resistance change, but also optimizes the concentration and activity of the surface adsorbed
oxygen of the material, and realizes high-sensitivity and selectivity detection of
ammonia gas.
