  Abstract: The development of low-cost, room temperature gas sensors is of considerable interest for environmental monitoring and industrial safety applications. In this study, a 4 wt% manganese (Mn)-doped natural graphite thin film gas sensor was fabricated using high-purity Sri Lankan vein graphite (BCD20, 99.1% carbon content) deposited on patterned indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates by the Doctor Blade technique. The structural, morphological, and gas sensing properties of the fabricated sensor were …
