Low-Dimensional Advanced Functional Materials as Hazardous Gas Sensing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Functional Materials for Optical and Hazardous Sensing

Part of the book series: Progress in Optical Science and Photonics ((POSP,volume 27))

Abstract

The intriguing structural, chemical, physical, and electrical properties of low dimensional advanced functional nanomaterials have been proven to be promising ultra-sensitive gas detectors. Low-dimensional materials (i.e., 0D, 1D, and 2D) have an extraordinarily enhanced surface-area-to-volume ratio, revealing a great number of interaction points with molecular analytes. Gas sensor built from these materials responds swiftly and reliably to slight external perturbations on sensing channel material via electrical transduction, demonstrating fast response/recovery, specific selectivity, and excellent stability. In this chapter, we thoroughly discuss the capabilities of gas sensing in the area of sensitive detection of dangerous gases utilizing a range of low-dimensional sensing materials and hybrid combinations. The objective is to obtain a better knowledge of the material design of various nanostructures and to give appropriate design recommendations to help enhance the device performance of nanomaterial-based gas sensors.
