description The demand for reliable and cost-effective CO<sub>2</sub> gas sensors is escalating due to their extensive applications in various sectors such as food packaging, indoor air quality assessment, and real-time monitoring of anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions to mitigate global warming. Nanostructured materials exhibit exceptional properties, including small grain size, controlled morphology, and heterojunction effects, rendering them promising candidates for chemiresistive CO<sub>2</sub> gas sensors. This review article provides an overview of recent advancements in chemiresistive CO<sub>2</sub> gas sensors based on nanostructured semiconducting materials. Specifically, it discusses single oxide structures, metal-decorated oxide nanostructures, and heterostructures, elucidating the correlations between these nanostructures and their CO<sub>2</sub> sensing properties. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and future prospects of chemiresistive CO<sub>2</sub> gas sensors, aiming to provide insights into the ongoing developments in this field.
