Welcome to our research hub, where innovation meets excellence. Gas sensing technology plays a critical role in various industries by providing the ability to detect and monitor the presence of gases in the environment. These sensors are vital for ensuring safety, improving air quality, and optimizing industrial processes. The rapid advancement in material science, particularly nanomaterials, has significantly enhanced the performance and capabilities of gas sensors. Gas sensors operate by detecting changes in electrical properties, such as resistance, when exposed to specific gases. These changes are translated into measurable signals, which indicate the concentration of the target gas. The sensitivity and selectivity of gas sensors are largely determined by the materials used in their construction. Our pioneering research focuses on advanced nanomaterials for superior gas detection. We have published impactful articles in reputed journals, showcasing our innovations in this field. The gas sensing performance analysis of Zn1−xMnxSnO3 chemi-resistive sensors with different Mn concentrations towards CO gas displayed enhanced sensing characteristics with respect to pure ZnSnO3 sensors. We reported an ultra-sensitive room temperature carbon monoxide (CO) gas sensor based on Na3Fe2(PO4)3 (NFP, NASICON-type monoclinic structure material) for the first time. Zn1-xNixO nanostructures, ZnSnO3 nanoparticles were revealed as an excellent humidity sensor. By exploring the unique properties of advanced functional materials, we aim to develop next-generation gas sensors that are more efficient, accurate, and versatile.
