Synergistic Effect of MOF-Derived Porous In2O3 and High-Entropy Alloy for Enhanced Room-Temperature Ammonia Sensing.

Key takeaways

Researchers built a new sensor to detect ammonia in breath. This gas is a sign of kidney disease. The sensor works at room temperature. It is very good at picking out ammonia from other gases. This test was done in the lab, not on people yet. It could lead to a simple breath test for kidney health.
