Detection of Ammonia Using Shear Horizontal Surface Acoustic Wave Resonators

Abstract

A shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) sensor coated with the polyaniline (PANI) film was investigated in this study. The frequency shift of the SH-SAW was measured for detecting ammonia. In addition, the temperature effect was discussed in order to find a suitable temperature of operation. The SH-SAW sensor in this study could immediately respond the concentration of ammonia gas and showed a linear response. This sensor presented a sensitivity of 0.21 ppm/ppm at 23degC.
