Abstract

In this chapter, optical gas sensors based on nanomaterials are presented paying special attention to their practical applicability and potential commercial use. Since optical oxygen sensors are one of the most often found devices in the market, their main sensing mechanisms are explained, principally time-resolved luminescence. Hydrogen, ammonia, and volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors are also described. VOC sensors play an important role in the development of optoelectronic noses and the development of commercial devices.
