Graphene for Future High-Performance Gas Sensing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Outlook and Challenges of Nano Devices, Sensors, and MEMS

Abstract

The emerging 2D materials such as graphene (Gr) has attracted widespread attention in chemical sensing due to its unique structural and electronic properties such as high conductivity, large surface areas and high sensitivity to electrical perturbations from gas molecules. This book chapter discusses and summarizes recent advancement of Gr-based gas sensors from basic principles to applications. The performance of Gr-based gas sensors can be optimized from several aspects, such as chemical composition, structures and defects, which are discussed systematically in this chapter. The technical barriers that limit their practical application and an outlook of Gr in next-generation gas sensors is presented.
