MQ-131 Ozone Gas Detector Sensor Module
The MQ131 gas sensor utilizes O3 SnO2 as its sensitive material, which exhibits lower conductivity in clean air. However, when ozone gas is present, the sensor’s conductivity increases proportionally with the concentration of the gas. By employing a simple electronic circuit, the change in conductivity can be converted into a corresponding output signal representing the gas concentration. The MQ131 gas sensor demonstrates high sensitivity to ozone and is also responsive to other gases such as O3, CL2, NO2, among others.
Features:
- Fast response characteristics
- Mounting holes to facilitate fixed installation.
- The probe can plug design for easy testing.
- Signal light indicates the output.
- Dual signal output (analog output, and TTL-level output)
- TTL output valid signal is low; (low output signal light, can be accessed by the microcontroller IO port)
- Analog output increases with the concentration, the higher the voltage the higher the concentration
- The ozone gas with high sensitivity (detection concentration range 10PPB-2PPM Ozone)
- Long life and reliable stability

How to Use MQ-131 Ozone Gas Detector Sensor Module
Power the module with a clean DC supply (commonly 5 V), allow the sensor to preheat for a few minutes until readings stabilize, then connect the analog output to an ADC input and the TTL pin to a digital I/O on your microcontroller. Secure the board using the mounting holes, place the probe in the measurement zone, and monitor the LED indicator for real-time alert when ozone concentration exceeds threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gases can the MQ-131 detect besides ozone?
While optimized for O₃, the MQ-131’s SnO₂ sensing layer also shows sensitivity to chlorine (Cl₂) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), producing a conductivity change when these gases are present.
How do I interpret the TTL output signal?
The TTL output goes low when ozone concentration crosses the module’s detection threshold. During a valid low signal, the onboard LED illuminates, and you can read the low state directly with a microcontroller digital input.
How should I mount and maintain the sensor?
Use screws through the PCB’s mounting holes to secure the module in a well-ventilated area away from direct airflow. For consistent accuracy, replace the plug-in probe periodically and keep the sensing element free of dust.
