Abstract: Due to the synergetic or complementary effects between organic and inorganic components, which could result in improved properties or performances, the organic/inorganic hybrid materials have recently gained extensive interest in many fields. Up to date, many reports have been published based on the organic/inorganic hybrid materials for the sensor applications. The paper provided a comprehensive review about recent progress of the organic/inorganic hybrid sensors. The organic/inorganic hybrid sensing materials could be fabricated in several configuration types such as intercalating type, core–shell type, coating type and mixed type. The sensing form of the hybrid sensors could be presented in thin-film, thick-film or pellet form, and the sensing performances could by measured in the flowing or static-state system. The hybrid sensing materials have been applied in gas sensors, humidity sensors, ultraviolet sensors, strain sensors, electrochemical immunosensors and fluorescent chemosensors. Finally, several suggestions related to future development of organic/inorganic hybrid sensing materials were also made.
