“…While the PANI-based sensing active layer is in contact with the external environment, the acidic/alkaline and oxidizing/reducing atmosphere in the environment could lead to the transformation of the PANI’s chemical structure, such as doping/de‑doping reactions. , This generates a conspicuous variation in the conductivity of PANI, thereby converting chemical signals into resistance signals. As shown in Figure a, a chemi-resistive sensor consists of a sensing region (usually a thin film on a macroscopic scale) bridging a pair of conductive electrodes (e.g., Au/Ag) . As a result, the chemi-resistive sensor is mainly utilized to detect target gases and volatile substances like NH 3 , NO 2 , water vapor, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with applications in a series of scenarios, including human health, environmental conservation, food industry, and public security. ,, In spite of their advantageseasy-to-fabricate, simple data processing, and strong response to specific targetsthe PANI-based chemi-resistive sensors still suffer from a series of challenges, such as unsatisfactory sensitivity, selectivity, and long-term stability …”
