Abstract

Great efforts have been focused on the rapid development of gas sensors capable of operating at room temperature since the monitoring of air quality has become a major concern for people’s health and well-being. Nanoarchitectonics is a new concept for the fabrication of functional materials by harmonizing methods at the atomic/molecular level and using mostly bottom-up techniques. In this field, carbon allotropes have been intensively explored, more specifically graphene derivatives due to their outstanding mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In the drive toward nanoarchitectonics, researchers have designed nanoarchitectures and nanocomposites of graphene derivatives and conductive polymers, utilizing synergistic effects to enhance the conductivity and thereby improve the performance of sensors for gas detection. Within this chapter, we review recent advances on gas sensors based on graphene/polymer composites and their applications toward the monitoring of hazardous gases.
