Abstract

In this paper a gas sensor for low concentration of ammonia detection realized by a low-cost printed technology is presented. The proposed sensor behaves in an integral mode up to 100 ppm of ammonia, and it is particularly suitable for applications where fast response, low cost, and the availability of disposable devices are mandatory.
