Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases created by human activities
like burning fossil fuels for power generation, oil refining, production of natural gas for
transportation, and many other such processes. It is a colorless, relatively inert, and
highly oxidizing gas; its concentration has a big effect on the world's climate resulting
in sea level rise, global warming, the greenhouse effect, and the possible development
of subtropical deserts. Thus, both qualitative and quantitative CO2
detection is crucial
for many industries, including food and beverage packaging, air quality, biotechnology,
health and medical research, marine and environmental science, and industrial
monitoring. This chapter majorly focuses on the different types of CO2
nano-sensors
and their comparison based on their performances.
Keywords: Carbon dioxide sensors, Detection, Environment, Industrial, Monitoring, Medical research.
