Sensing materials which interact with carbon dioxide, water vapor (relative humidity), hydrogen sulfide, ethylene and ethanol are the focus of this work. Performance characteristics such as dynamic range, recovery time, operating temperature, long-term stability and method of deposition are discussed to determine the commercial viability of the sensing materials considered in this work. In addition to the sensing materials, deposition methods are considered to obtain the desired sensing material thickness based on the sensor\u2019s mechanism of operation. Various material classes including metal oxides, conductive polymers and carbon allotropes are included in this review. By implementing multiple sensing materials to detect a single target analyte, the issue of selectivity due to cross sensitivity can be mitigated. For this reason, where possible, it is desirable to utilize more than one sensing material to monitor a single target gas. Among those considered in this work, it is observed that PEDOT PSS\/graphene and TiO2-coated g-C3N4 NS are best suited for CO2 detection, given their wide dynamic range and modest operating temperature. To monitor the presence of ethylene, BMIM-NTf2, SWCNTs and PtTiO2 offer a dynamic range most suitable for the application and require no active heating. Due to the wide dynamic range offered by SiO2\/Si nanowires, this material is best suited for the detection of ethanol; a gas artificially introduced to prolong the shelf life of the harvested crop. Finally, among all other sensing materials investigated, it observed that both SWCNTs and CNTs\/SnO2\/CuO are most suitable for H2S detection in the given application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21103423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,17]],"date-time":"2021-05-17T02:31:34Z","timestamp":1621218694000},"page":"3423","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["A Review on Advanced Sensing Materials for Agricultural Gas Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6373-0188","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Calvin","family":"Love","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haleh","family":"Nazemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7472-4042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eman","family":"El-Masri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenson","family":"Ambrose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1104-2292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael S.","family":"Freund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS B3H 4R2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2034-1120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arezoo","family":"Emadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON N9B 3P4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wang, Z.
