MQ131 overview
MQ131 Ozone gas sensor module belongs to the MQ gas sensor family infamous for their use in the early detection and warning of toxic concentrations of harmful gases in a closeby vicinity. MQ131 sensor possesses lower conductivity in clean air and higher conductivity when the ozone concentration rises. The core sensing element in MQ131 sensors is SnO2 which allows for quick detection of the harmful concentration of Ozone gas. MQ131 sensor also possesses strong sensitivity to strong oxides such as Cl₂, NO₂ &, etc. It responds oppositely to organic interference gases. The sensing range is 10 - 1000ppm. The sensor is easily interfaceable with almost every MCU such as Arduino Uno, ESP32, NodeMCU, etc.
MQ131 gas sensor is widely used in domestic ozone concentration alarms, industrial ozone concentration alarms, and portable ozone concentration detectors. The module also features ESD protection and overvoltage protection capabilities.
