Breath analysis using novel sensing nanomaterials has become a focus in non-invasive clinical diagnostics and treatment. This review highlights the advancements in chemiresistive gas sensor technology for biomarker detection in various diseases, emphasizing on selective detection methods and optimization strategies with semiconducting metal oxide nanostructures and 2-dimensional nanomaterials. The social and economic demands for breathalyzer technology, along with challenges and scope for improvement, are also discussed.
Breath analysis for non-invasive clinical diagnostics and treatment progression has penetrated the research community owing to the technological developments in novel sensing nanomaterials. The trace level selective detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath facilitates the study of physiological disorder and real-time health monitoring. This review focuses on advancements in chemiresistive gas sensor technology for biomarker detection associated with different diseases. Emphasis is placed on selective biomarker detection by semiconducting metal oxide (SMO) nanostructures, 2-dimensional nanomaterials (2DMs) and nanocomposites through various optimization strategies and sensing mechanisms. Their synergistic properties for incorporation in a portable breathalyzer have been elucidated. Furthermore, the socio-economic demands of a breathalyzer in terms of recent establishment of startups globally and challenges of a breathalyzer are critically reviewed. This initiative is aimed at highlighting the challenges and scope for improvement to realize a high performance chemiresistive gas sensor for non-invasive disease diagnosis.
