  Abstract: The development of room-temperature gas sensors with high sensitivity, fast response, and low-cost remains a critical challenge for environmental monitoring and safety applications. In this work, we report the fabrication and characterization of a 2% Mn-doped Sri Lankan natural graphite thin-film sensor for the detection of ammonia (NH3), ethanol (C2H5OH), and acetone (C3H6O) vapors under ambient conditions. The sensor was prepared using the doctor-blade coating method on Indium Tin Oxide …
