Abstract: Industrialization has caused significant environmental and health risks due to the emission of hazardous gases like ammonia. This study investigates the temperature-dependent gas sensing properties of a ZnO-GO nanocomposite synthesized via microwave-assisted combustion. The ammonia sensor, tested from 25 °C (room temperature) to 200 °C, showed its highest sensitivity (72 %) at 100°C for 100 ppm ammonia. It achieved a response time of 94 seconds and a recovery time of 58 seconds. These results demonstrate the potential of ZnO-GO nanocomposite sensors in reducing ammonia-related risks in industrial environments.
