Abstract

Many different industries, including the pharmaceutical, medical engineering, clinical diagnostic, public safety, and food monitoring industries, use gas sensors. The inherent qualities of nanomaterials, such as their capacity to chemically or physically adsorb gas, and their great ratio of surface to volume make them excellent candidates for use in gas sensing technology. Additionally, the nanomaterial-based gas sensors have excellent selectivity, reproducibility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. This Review article offers a summary of the research on gas sensor devices based on nanomaterials of various sizes. The numerous nanomaterial-based gas sensors, their manufacturing procedures and sensing mechanisms, and most recent advancements are all covered in detail. In addition, evaluations and comparisons of the key characteristics of gas sensing systems made from various dimensional nanomaterials were done.
