| contents | Ammonia is a harmful chemical hazard known for its widespread industrial use. Exposure to ammonia can cause environmental damage, human health hazards, and huge economic losses. Therefore, ammonia gas sensors are essential for detecting ammonia leaks to avoid serious accidental injury and death. In this study, we synthesize a nanostructured (WO3) n-type metal oxide semiconductor doped with a rare earth element-transition metal (Ce-Cu) via hydrothermal method for ammonia gas sensing application. Structural analysis was performed using XRD and FESEM. Further we investigate the optical properties via UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, and PL. We found that doping of (Ce-Cu) led to significant improvement in thermal stability for ammonia detection and selectivity performance compared to that pure one, across a wide frequency range. We believe that these studies will pave the way for exploring the use of Ce-Cu to improve the gas sensing properties of semiconductor-based gas sensors. |
