Mechanisms of NO(2) Detection in Hybrid Structures Containing Reduced Graphene Oxide: A Review

The sensitive detection of harmful gases, in particular nitrogen dioxide, is very important for our health and environment protection. Therefore, many papers on sensor materials used for NO(2) detection have been published in recent years. Materials based on graphene and reduced graphene oxide deserve special attention, as they exhibit excellent sensor properties compared to the other materials. In this paper, we present the most recent advances in rGO hybrid materials developed for NO(2) detection. We discuss their properties and, in particular, the mechanism of their interaction with NO(2). We also present current problems occuring in this field.
