This paper deals with the uses of zeolites and zeolite-based materials for developing gas sensors. The purpose of using zeolites in sensors is usually to improve sensitivity and selectivity by preferential adsorption, in addition, thin films assure a fast response time of the sensor. The compound or cluster sensing towards a gas assembled into the cages or channels of zeolites property of the materials were disussed in this paper. The possibility of these materials is tinted and avenues for further research are suggested.
