Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas detection at room
temperature
is of immense interest because it reduces power consumption, enhances
long-term stability, and reduces the risk of explosion in the existence
of flammable gases. Graphene-based gas sensors have been widely utilized
in H2S sensing because of their atomically thick two-dimensional
conjugated structures, huge specific surface areas, and excellent
conductivity and mechanical stability. Usually graphene-based sensors
exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity toward H2S gas
with limits of detection below 100 ppb. In this critical review, we
summarize the history and physicochemical properties of graphene.
Further, we discuss recent advancements in the fabrication of graphene-based
sensors including metal/graphene, metal oxide/graphene, polymers/graphene,
and metal–organic frameworks/graphene sensors for applications
in H2S gas sensing. Finally, future perspectives on the
improvement of graphene-based H2S sensors are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
