Abstract

The rapid advancement of human-machine interaction (HMI), the Internet of Things (IoTs), and artificial intelligence (AI) has imposed greater demands on the ambient temperature wearable performance of sensors. In this study, the Fe modified bilayers polyaniline (PANI) flexible room temperature ammonia sensor is prepared by all-aerosol-jet-printed. The increased protonation degree of the PANI film produced by this method was elucidated through analysis of aerosol microdroplet evaporation behavior, while the improved ammonia sensing performance of the PANI/Fe dendritic structure was explained using soft and hard acid-base theory. Gas sensing tests demonstrated that the PANI/Fe sensor exhibited high sensitivity to ammonia (776 % at 55 ppm), a wide detection range (547 ppb-547 ppm), as well as excellent selectivity, flexibility, and cyclic stability. These results underscore its potential for application in ambient temperature wearable fields.
