“…Opposite to the response process, the recovery processes of Variations (1) and (2) caused positive and negative frequency shifts, respectively. For Sensor 2, the frequency kept decreasing for ~30 s during whole recovery process, indicating that the recovery [in Variation (2)] occurred for at least 30 s.…”

It demonstrated that humidity played a significant factor on the sensing performance. Comparative studies exhibited that the sensor based on the composite SiO2-TiO2 film had a much better sensitivity to NH3 at a low concentration level (1 ppm) with a response of 2 KHz, and also showed fast response and recovery, excellent selectivity, stability and reproducibility.

“…Ammonia is an important industrial forming gas used in various fields including pharmaceuticals and chemical industries as well as national security [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. However, it is flammable and poisonous that can cause seizures, collapse, lung damage, blindness, coma, and even death [9][10][11][12].…”
