description Gas sensors are essential for safety and quality of life, with broad applications in industry, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. As urbanization and industrial activities intensify, the need for advanced air quality monitoring becomes critical, driving the demand for more sensitive, selective, and reliable sensors. Recent advances in nanotechnology, particularly 1D nanostructures like nanofibers and nanowires, have garnered significant interest due to their high surface area and improved charge transfer properties. Electrospinning stands out as a promising technique for fabricating these nanomaterials, enabling precise control over their morphology and leading to sensors with exceptional attributes, including high sensitivity, rapid response, and excellent stability in harsh conditions. This review examines the current research on chemoresistive gas sensors based on 1D nanostructures produced by electrospinning. It focuses on how the morphology and composition of these nanomaterials influence key sensor characteristics—sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. The review highlights recent advancements in sensors incorporating metal oxides, carbon nanomaterials, and conducting polymers, along with their modifications to enhance performance. It also explores the use of fiber-based composite materials for detecting oxidizing, reducing, and volatile organic compounds. These composites leverage the properties of various materials to achieve high sensitivity and selectivity, allowing for the detection of a wide range of gases in diverse conditions. The review further addresses challenges in scaling up production and suggests future research directions to overcome technological limitations and improve sensor performance for both industrial and domestic air quality monitoring applications.
