Abstract
Chemiresistive sensing lies in its ability to provide fast, accurate, and reliable detection of various gases in a cost-effective and non-invasive manner. In this context, graphene-functionalized metal oxides play crucial role in hydrogen gas sensing. However, a cost-effective, defect-free, and large production schemes of graphene-based sensors are required for industrial applications. This review focuses on graphene-functionalized metal oxide nanostructures designed for gaseous molecules detection, mainly hydrogen gas sensing applications. For the convenience of the reader and to understand the role of graphene-metal oxide hybrids (GMOH) in gas sensing activities, a brief overview of the properties and synthesis routes of graphene and GMOH have been reported in this paper. Metal oxides play an essential role in the GMOH construct for hydrogen gas sensing. Therefore, various metal oxides-decorated GMOH constructs are detailed in this review as gas sensing platforms, particularly for hydrogen detection. Finally, specific directions for future research works and challenges ahead in designing highly selective and sensitive hydrogen gas sensors have been highlighted. As illustrated in this review, understanding of the metal oxides-decorated GMOH constructs is expected to guide ones in developing emerging hybrid nanomaterials that are suitable for hydrogen gas sensing applications.

Abstract
Developing gas sensors capable of efficiently detecting harmful gases is urgent to protect the human environment. Here, an active Ce-Ag bimetallic pair was innovatively introduced into SnS2, which successfully exhibited excellent NO2 gas sensing performance. 0.8% Ce-SnS2-Ag showed a gas sensing response of 5.18 to 1 ppm of NO2 at a low temperature of 80 °C, with a lower limit of detection as low as 100 ppb. DFT calculations revealed that Ce atoms are substituted into the main lattice of SnS2, which opens up the interlayer spacing and serves as an anchor point to fix the Ag atoms in the interlayer. The Ce-Ag bimetallic pairs successfully modulate the electronic structure of SnS2, which promotes the adsorption and charge transfer between NO2 and Ce-SnS2-Ag and thus achieves such an outstanding gas sensing performance. This work opens an avenue for the rational functional modification of SnS2 with an optimized electronic structure and enhanced gas sensing.

Abstract
The increasing demand to mitigate the alarming effects of the emission of ammonia (NH3) on human health and the environment has highlighted the growing attention to the design of reliable and effective sensing technologies using novel materials and unique nanocomposites with tunable functionalities. Among the state-of-the-art ammonia detection materials, graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites have gained significant attention. Despite the ever-increasing number of publications on graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites for ammonia detection, various understandings and information regarding the process, mechanisms, and new material components have not been fully explored. Therefore, this review summarises the recent progress of graphene-based polymeric nanocomposites for ammonia detection. A comprehensive discussion is provided on the various gas sensor designs, including chemiresistive, Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM), and Field-Effect Transistor (FET), as well as gas sensors utilising the graphene-based polymer nanocomposites, in addition to highlighting the pros and cons of graphene to enhance the performance of gas sensors. Moreover, the various techniques used to fabricate graphene-based nanocomposites and the numerous polymer electrolytes (e.g., conductive polymeric electrolytes), the ion transport models, and the fabrication and detection mechanisms of ammonia are critically addressed. Finally, a brief outlook on the significant progress, future opportunities, and challenges of graphene-based polymer nanocomposites for the application of ammonia detection are presented.

Abstract
Since there is excellent synergy between heterostructures and noble metals due to their unique electro-optical and catalytic properties, the introduction of noble metals into metal oxide semiconductors has substantially improved the performance of gas sensors. However, most of the reported noble metal-metal oxide composites are generally prepared as simple hybrids; hence, there is lack of control over their structure, morphology and dimension. Herein, we report a seed-mediated growth of dumbbell-like Au-Fe3O4 heteronanostructured gas sensors for ammonia detection under green light illumination, in which the particle sizes of Au and Fe3O4 were readily tuned in a wide range. The ammonia gas-sensing performances of Au-Fe3O4 heteronanostructures were greatly improved at room temperature by regulating their dimensions. In particular, the sensitivity improved by 30% while the response and recovery time shortened by 20 s and 50 s for the 7.5 nm Au-loaded Fe3O4-based sensor toward 5 ppm ammonia under 520 nm green light illumination as compared to that in the absence of light. This can be ascribed to the localized surface plasmon effect of Au and the Schottky junction formed at the interface between Au and Fe3O4. Interestingly, the Au-Fe3O4 heteronanostructure exhibits a unique p-type to n-type reversible transition for ammonia detection due to the nature of Fe3O4 NPs related to the trade-off between oxygen vacancies and electron transfer caused by ammonia adsorption. In addition, the calculation based on first-principle theory reveals enhanced adsorption capacities of Fe3O4 for ammonia after Au-doping.

Abstract
SnS2 nanosheets (NSs) have become an ideal candidate for high performance gas sensors due to their unique sensing properties. However, the restacking and aggregation in the process of sensor manufacturing have great influence on the gas sensing performance. In this study, we synthesized a novel heterojunction of the flower-like porous SnS2 NSs with edge exposed MoS2 nanospheres via a facile hydrothermal method and sensitive response has achieved at room temperature (27℃). After functionalization, the SMS-Ⅱ showed excellent response (Ra/Rg = 25.9-100 ppm NO2), which is 22.3 times higher than that of the pristine SnS2 NSs. The sensor also has the characteristics of short response time of 2 s, excellent base line recovery (28.2 s), long-term stability and reliability within 16 weeks, good selectivity and low detection concentration of only 50 ppb. The p-n heterojunction formed between the edge-exposed spherical MoS2 and the 3D flower-like SnS2 NSs has a synergistic effect, providing a highly active sites for the adsorption of NO2 gas, which greatly enhance the sensitivity of the sensor. Simple fabrication and excellent gas sensing performance of the SnS2/MoS2 heterostructure nanomaterials (NMs) will highly effective for commercial gas sensing application.

Abstract
Graphene (G) and metal-decorated G nanocomposites are among the most promising materials for a wide variety of practical applications, and, therefore, the development of fast and reliable methods for nanocomposite synthesis is an important task. Herein we report the new fast approach for solution combustion synthesis (SCS) of large-area G-metallic nanocomposites in an air atmosphere. The G-based nanocomposites were obtained by a SCS using copper and nickel nitrates, as well as their stoichiometric mixture as the metal source and citric acid as a fuel and carbon source. The G structures started on the catalytic surface of freshly synthesized metallic nanograins during the combustion process and formed large-area free-standing films due to the high-energy and fast synthesis process. We proposed a mechanism of formation of the G-based nanocomposites. The phase compositions, structural features, and magnetization behavior of G@Cu, G@Ni, and G@CuNi nanocomposites are carefully studied and described. G@metal nanocomposites were studied as a material for the creation of a highly effective sensing element of semiconductor gas sensors.
