This study successfully developed a semiconductor metal oxide-based ammonia gas sensor that was powered by an Ultraviolet-Visible-near-IR optical light source. However, optical fibre gas sensors using single metal oxide nanomaterial are limited. To address this situation, a h-MoO3 nanorod was grown on a tapered region of optical fibre glass using a simple chemical bath deposition to form a unique sensing element. An additional annealing treatment was then performed to modify the oxidation state of h-MoO3. The property changes of the samples were characterised using different techniques, such as FESEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, TGA and UV-Vis. Overall, the annealing treatment improved the sensitivity performance, response and recovery time of the sensor towards NH3. h-MoO3 that was annealed at 150 degrees C in air showed stable room temperature absorbance responses of 0.05, 0.18, 0.22, 0.28 and 0.35, a fast response time of 210 s towards 500 ppm of NH3 and strong stability and repeatability. The optical NH3 gas-sensing behaviour was significantly correlated with the non-stoichiometric Mo5+ content. The chemisorbed oxygen species and physiosorbed NH3 altered the refractive index and its absorption coefficient on the nanorod, which manipulated the optical signal and acts as a sensing mechanism. These results verify that a chemical bath deposition growth of the h-MoO3 nanorod exhibits a promising optical sensing characteristic, which paves a path for emerging gas-sensing technology.
