An electrochemical sensor is described for the analysis of ammonia in air functioning in an amperometric measuring operation. The cell consists of either an immobilized organic electrolyte or a water based electrolyte having in both cases a dissolved Mn2+ salt, which is immediately oxidized by an electrochemical process at a measuring electrode of the cell to Mn4+ ion, if a pH-shift of the electrolyte in the presence of ammonia takes place. The sensor consists of three electrodes comprising a catalytic active carbon measuring electrode, a second carbon auxiliary electrode (counter electrode) in contact with the electrolyte and a third electrode in contact with the electrolyte, which acts as reference electrode. The sensor can be used for ammonia over a wide range and can be adapted for other uses, such as volatile amines.
