Gold-Loaded Tungsten Oxide Sensor for Detection of Ammonia in Air

Abstract
Among various noble-metal loaded WO3 sensor elements, the one loaded with Au showed the best NH3 sensing performance in sensitivity and response rate at 450 °C. It could detect NH3 in air over a wide concentration range from 5 ppb to 50 ppm. The optimum Au loading was 0.8 wt%.
