Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess unique physical, chemical, and antibacterial qualities, making them highly versatile and widely used in a variety of products. These nanoparticles are utilized across various fields, including electronics, biosensing, textiles, cosmetics, sunscreens, and medical devices. Due to their unique combination of high electrical conductivity, strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and efficient electron transfer properties, AgNPs have garnered significant attention for sensing applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of AgNP-based gas sensors, covering synthesis methods and their influence on nanoparticle size, shape, and stability. The integration of AgNPs with supporting materials, such as metal oxides, reduced graphene oxide, and polymers, is also discussed, highlighting improvements in sensitivity, selectivity, and operational stability. Major sensing mechanisms are explained in relation to the detection of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, ethylene, and other relevant gases. These insights aim to guide the development of advanced AgNP-based gas sensors with enhanced performance for environmental and biomedical applications.

期刊介绍： In 1985, the Journal of Science was founded as a platform for publishing national and international research papers across various disciplines, including natural sciences, technology, social sciences, and humanities. Over the years, the journal has experienced remarkable growth in terms of quality, size, and scope. Today, it encompasses a diverse range of publications dedicated to academic research. Considering the rapid expansion of materials science, we are pleased to introduce the Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices. This new addition to our journal series offers researchers an exciting opportunity to publish their work on all aspects of materials science and technology within the esteemed Journal of Science. With this development, we aim to revolutionize the way research in materials science is expressed and organized, further strengthening our commitment to promoting outstanding research across various scientific and technological fields.
