Abstract
Abstract Due to their unique chemical and physical properties, 2D inorganic materials (2DMs) have attracted a lot of attention in recent years as an attractive platform for diverse applications in opto‐electronics, energy generation and storage, and sensing. This article presents the progress being made in sensors designed for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air. It considers commercially available sensors, such as the amperometric and conductometric types, and the recent advancements in VOCs sensors employing 2DMs and their nanocomposites. Their performance is summarized in a graphical form and the challenges and possible mitigation methods for these types of VOC sensor are highlighted.
