A Review on Graphene-Based Gas/Vapor Sensors with Unique Properties and Potential Applications

Abstract: Graphene-based gas/vapor sensors have attracted much attention in recent years due to their variety of structures, unique sensing performances, room-temperature working conditions, and tremendous application prospects, etc. Herein, we summarize recent advantages in graphene preparation, sensor construction, and sensing properties of various graphene-based gas/vapor sensors, such as NH3, NO2, H2, CO, SO2, H2S, as well as vapor of volatile organic compounds. The detection mechanisms pertaining to various gases a… Show more

“…6,7 Of these, one of the most common is the chemisresistive sensor, whose relatively simple design and operation make it a strong candidate for CMOS integration. 7,8 The constraints of CMOS are problematic, however, both in terms of permissible materials and processing parameters. Maximum CMOS processing and operating temperatures remain serious barriers to several classic chemisresistive gas sensor topologies.…”

“…11,12 Monolayer graphene, the first among an expanding class of two-dimensional (2D) materials, is one of the more promising candidates for the future of gas sensing. 7,[13][14][15] In particular its high intrinsic carrier mobility, ultimate surface area to volume ratio, and inherent low-noise electrical response, 16,17 are all well-suited to gas sensors, and the oft-mentioned drawback of graphene, its zero band-gap, 18 presents no fundamental barrier to graphene's effectiveness as a chemisresistive transducer. Graphene is sensitive to several gases, particularly NO 2 , and in cases where pristine graphene is relatively unreactive toward a particular gas species, the graphene surface can be functionalized to achieve high levels of sensitivity.…”

“…For sensing applications, graphene is an attractive candidate, due to its high specific surface area, mechanical flexibility, and excellent electron transfer [24,25]. Recently, Moayeri and Ajji reported an approach for constructing electrospun PANi/PEO/Graphene nanofibers exhibiting improved electrical conductivity and thermal stability over that of PANi/PEO nanofibers [26].…”

“…7,8 In this way not only the binding energy (and therefore the surface coverage) can be increased but also the electronic properties of graphene can be modified so that the adsorption of a gas molecule results in an increased electrical response. Another challenge for creating the full-value sensors with high sensitivity is their ability to work not only in inert atmosphere but also in air.…”
