“…The most commonly used graphene-based reinforcement materials include polycarbonate, polyester, epoxy, polyethene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polymethylmethacrylate, nylon, and Teflon [ 71 , 83 ]. The polarity, molecular weight, graphene functionalities, hydrophobicity, and solvent interaction highly influence the mechanism of the graphene-based polymer nanocomposites [ 84 , 85 , 86 ]. During the mixing of graphene and polymer, the ratio of graphene to polymer and the molecular weight of the grafting polymer usually play an important role in the dispersion of graphene [ 87 ].…”

The increasing demand to mitigate the alarming effects of the emission of ammonia (NH3) on human health and the environment has highlighted the growing attention to the design of reliable and effective sensing technologies using novel materials and unique nanocomposites with tunable functionalities. Among the state-of-the-art ammonia detection materials, graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites have gained significant attention. Despite the ever-increasing number of publications on graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites for ammonia detection, various understandings and information regarding the process, mechanisms, and new material components have not been fully explored. Therefore, this review summarises the recent progress of graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites for ammonia detection. A comprehensive discussion is provided on the various gas sensor designs, including chemiresistive, Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM), and Field-Effect Transistor (FET), as well as gas sensors utilising the graphene-based polymer nanocomposites, in addition to highlighting the pros and cons of graphene to enhance the performance of gas sensors. Moreover, the various techniques used to fabricate graphene-based nanocomposites and the numerous polymer electrolytes (e.g., conductive polymeric electrolytes), the ion transport models, and the fabrication and detection mechanisms of ammonia are critically addressed. Finally, a brief outlook on the significant progress, future opportunities, and challenges of graphene-based polymer nanocomposites for the application of ammonia detection are presented.
