CSIR-Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute [CSIR-CGCRI]: This technology involves the development of antimony-doped tin oxide-polypyrrole nano-composites for ammonia sensing at temperatures ranging from room temperature to sub-zero conditions, as low as -30°C. The composite is synthesized using hydrogen peroxide as a template for oxidative polymerization, enabling highly selective and stable ammonia detection at ppm levels. This technology is particularly useful for monitoring ammonia levels in cold storage and commercial preservation environments, such as detecting spoilage in meat and meat products.
