The study focuses on developing a low-cost and reliable methane gas sensor using a TiO₂–graphene composite material connected to an Adafruit platform for easy monitoring and data collection. Methane is a flammable gas commonly found in homes, industries, and the environment, so early detection is important to prevent accidents. TiO₂ is widely used in gas sensors because it is stable and...
The detection of methane gas is critically important for safety, environmental monitoring, and industrial process control, particularly in enclosed or high-risk areas such as laboratories, landfills, and gas pipelines. In confined spaces, excessive methane concentrations can result in explosions or suffocation, while its emission into the atmosphere significantly contributes to climate...
Ethanol is a colourless, volatile, and flammable liquid that is widely used in industrial, medical, and consumer applications. However, prolonged ethanol exposure to humans at 1000 ppm and above can pose a serious health risk with symptoms such as throat irritation, dizziness, intoxication, and unconsciousness if the concentration continues to increase. This makes the detection of ethanol...
This study presents a cost-effective and innovative ethylene gas detection system designed to monitor fruit ripening and minimize postharvest losses. The system integrates a commercial MQ135 gas sensor with a single fabricated TiO₂-based sensor to detect ethylene gas through voltage variations under controlled parameters. The TiO₂ sensor was fabricated and characterized to evaluate its...
