Improvement Methods for Colorimetric Gas Sensor for Use in Indoor Livestock Farming

Different published colorimetric sensors were investigated with the ultimate goal to develop a colorimetric sensor for a closed livestock farm, applicable in a rough environment. The methods were investigated to improve the lack of sensitivity, roughness, and reproduction of colorimetric sensors. Th...
