Conducting Polymer Based Sensors for Detection and Estimation of CO2

Abstract

Abstract

CO₂ is a greenhouse gas causing global warming, therefore, its detection and estimation by some smart sensors are extremely important. This review paper made an attempt to present current state of affairs on development of conducting polymer based smart sensors for detection and estimation of CO₂. This is followed by a discussion on merits and demerits of spectroscopic techniques for sensing CO₂. Applications of conducting polymer particularly, poly aniline (PANI), sulfonated poly aniline (SPANI) and poly pyrrole (PPY) and their nano composites with metal oxides in CO₂ sensing have been presented. Mechanisms of CO₂ sensing by these polymers and their composites have been discussed.

Keywords: Conducting polymer sensors; estimation and detection of CO_2, green house gas, smart sensors.
