Description

The MQ131 ozone gas sensor utilizes a semiconductor metallic oxide as its sensitive material, which exhibits high conductivity in clean air. In the presence of ozone, the sensor’s conductivity decreases proportionally with the rising gas concentration. This change in conductivity can be converted into a corresponding output signal via a simple external circuit, enabling precise monitoring of ozone levels.

Designed for durability, the sensor features a standard bakelite and metal cap encapsulation, providing stability in various environmental conditions. It operates optimally at 20°C ±2°C and 55% ±5% RH as per its calibration specifications. While highly sensitive to ozone, it also responds to other strong oxidizing gases like chlorine (Cl2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and exhibits an opposite response to organic interference gases, ensuring specific application suitability.

Key Features

  • Semiconductor-based sensing for high-concentration ozone detection (10-1000 ppm)
  • Produces a clear analog voltage signal (≥1.0V in 200ppm O3) for straightforward system integration
  • Compact and durable construction with bakelite body and protective metal cap
  • Features high sensitivity, fast response time, and excellent long-term stability
  • Low power consumption design suitable for continuous monitoring applications
  • Resistant to poisoning and vapor interference for reliable operation in challenging environments
  • Calibrated for optimal performance at standard temperature and humidity conditions (20°C, 55% RH)

Applications

  • Industrial hygiene monitoring for ozone exposure in workplaces
  • Air quality assessment and control systems for ground-level ozone
  • Monitoring ozone generators used for virus disinfection and sterilization in commercial/residential buildings
  • Environmental monitoring stations for atmospheric ozone concentration
  • Safety systems in facilities using ozone for water treatment or chemical processes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the MQ131 sensor and how do I interface it?

The MQ131 provides an analog voltage output. Its conductivity changes with ozone concentration, which can be measured as a voltage drop across a load resistor in a simple circuit. Connect this output to an ADC pin on a microcontroller like an Arduino or ESP32 to read the concentration. A voltage of ≥1.0V is typically produced in an environment with 200ppm O3.

What gases besides ozone does the MQ131 detect?

While specifically designed for ozone (O3), the MQ131's semiconductor material also exhibits sensitivity to other strong oxidizing gases such as chlorine (Cl2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). It responds oppositely to organic interference gases. For precise ozone measurement, consider the potential cross-sensitivity in your application environment.

What are the optimal operating conditions for this sensor?

For calibrated performance, the sensor operates best at 20°C ±2°C and 55% ±5% relative humidity. Significant deviations in temperature and humidity can affect the baseline resistance and sensitivity, so environmental conditioning or software compensation may be necessary for accurate measurements in non-standard conditions.
