CeNS Develops Ultra-Sensitive Ammonia Sensor
Recently, Scientists at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, developed an ultra-sensitive room-temperature ammonia sensor capable of detecting toxic ammonia gas at extremely low concentrations, enabling portable, wearable and self-powered gas monitoring devices.
Features of the Sensor
High Performance
- The sensor detects ammonia concentrations as low as 319 parts per billion (ppb).
- Demonstrates high selectivity against other common gases.
- Provides stable performance for over 10 weeks.
- Functions across a wide range of ammonia concentrations.
Energy Efficient
- Operates at room temperature with low power consumption.
- Suitable for portable and real-world applications.
Applications
- Industrial Safety: Detects ammonia leaks in fertiliser, refrigeration ....
