N2 - In this paper, the preparation of the ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite is discussed. The synthesis of nanocomposite is performed by the direct pyrolysis of the precursor (zinc acetate hexahydrate). The material synthesis is validated by different characterization tools, such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The SEM and TEM analysis revealed the formation of nanorods on g-C3N4 support. The gas sensing property of the ZnO/g-C3N4 was studied for various concentrations of hydrogen gas. Response and recovery times were recorded by the sensor.
