The invention provides preparation and application of an
ammonia gas sensor based on iron-doped
zinc oxide modified
molybdenum oxide. Through an improved material preparation process, firstly,
molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) microspheres are synthesized by adopting a hydrothermal method, then
zinc-iron
hydrotalcite and the MoS2 microspheres are compounded by adopting an in-situ
coating technology, and the
composite material is formed by calcining at 300-450 DEG C for 5 hours. In the
assembly process of the sensor, the
composite material is uniformly coated on the surface of an Al2O3
ceramic tube after being subjected to
ultrasonic dispersion, and is aged for 12 hours in an air environment of 200-400 DEG C to optimize the stability, and finally, a
nickel-
chromium alloy heating wire and a
Pt electrode lead are packaged through a 250 DEG C
tin soldering process. Under the optimal
working temperature, the sensitivity of the sensor to 20ppm NH3 is 1.5, the
response time is 60s, the
recovery time is 21s, the lowest
detection limit is as low as 500ppb, and the sensor has the advantages of quick response, high sensitivity and long-term stability, is suitable for real-time monitoring of
ammonia volatilization in an agricultural
nitrogen fertilizer application area, early warning of a
livestock and poultry breeding
closed space and leakage detection of an industrial pipeline, and has a wide application prospect. And an efficient solution is provided for accurate detection of the
ammonia concentration of 1-500ppm and multi-scene safety management and control.
