Improving ammonia sensing performance of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) coated with nanofibers and polyaniline (PANi) overlay
Summary
A polyaniline overlay on polyvinyl acetate nanofibres improves a QCM ammonia sensor. The best coating, with 0.05% polyaniline, reaches 0.297 Hz per ppm, about five times the plain fibres, responds in roughly half a minute and stays stable over two months, with good selectivity, reproducibility and reversibility.
