Abstract

Plasmonic nanostructures have emerged as indispensable components in the construction of high-performance gas sensors, playing a pivotal role across diverse applications, including industrial safety, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. This review paper critically examines seminal research that underscores the remarkable efficacy of plasmonic materials in achieving superior attributes such as heightened sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response times in gas detection. Offering a synthesis of pivotal studies, this review aims to furnish a comprehensive discourse on the contemporary advancements within the burgeoning domain of plasmonic gas sensing. The featured investigations meticulously scrutinize various plasmonic structures and their applications in detecting gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and nitrogen dioxide. The discussed frameworks encompass cutting-edge approaches, spanning ideal absorbers, surface plasmon resonance sensors, and nanostructured materials, thereby elucidating the diverse strategies employed for advancing plasmonic gas sensing technologies.
