ABSTRACT This study has investigated an improved surface acoustic wave (SAW) ammonia gas sensor based on L-glutamic acid hydrochloride. It presents an excellent reversibility, sensitivity, and repeatability to ammonia. The frequency shift versus ammonia concentration above 40°C was a monotonic function, and the limit of detection of the sensor at 50°C was 80 ppb.
