This </span> <span style="font-size:10pt;">unexpected behavior is related to the change in electronic band structure of the Pc molecule. It was observed that relative humidity enhances the ammonia adsorption. Several adsorption kinetics model were employed to represent the ammonia adsorption on the sensor surface. Analysis of the experimental data indicated that a simple adsorption model can be used to represent our adsorption system. </span> </p> <p> </p> <b> <span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span> </b> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="6zetAbstractMetin"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-weight:normal;"> </span> </p> <p>  </p>}, number={6}, publisher={Sakarya University}
