Abstract

Preparation and characterisation of a highly selective surface-ruthenated zinc oxide sensor for ammonia in trace levels is demonstrated. The introduction of some RuO linkages on the surface of ZnO leads to a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivity (S) to 1000 ppm level of ammonia at 300°C (S=440) as compared to the similar response obtained for pure ZnO (S=1.5). A systematic study using various characterisation techniques such as EDAX, SEM, CV and XPS indicates the key role played by the amount and distribution of Ru species on the surface.
