Abstract
In the present era, organic–inorganic nanohybrids based sensor has attained interests of researches due to their outstanding applications in the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The remarkable features of organic–inorganic nanohybrids include enhanced surface area, tunable porosity, good stability and flexible structure. These characteristics features reflect organic–inorganic nanohybrids to be a potential candidate for detection of VOCs. In this chapter, we focused on (i) sources of VOCs, (ii) adverse effects of VOCs on environments, (iii) various sensor used to detect VOCs, (iv) organic–inorganic nanohybrids sensor for various VOCs detection. For obtaining high performance in organic–inorganic nanohybrids sensors, challenges and future prospects have been discussed to promote the development of organic–inorganic nanohybrids based sensors in the future.
