A method for producing a conductive molecularly imprinted polymer film for detection of an airborne target molecule includes (a) dissolving a polymer host comprising a structural component and a conductive component in a first solvent to form a first solution, wherein the structural component includes nylon-6 or polyethyleneimine and the conductive component includes polyaniline, (b) adding a target molecule to the first solution, (c) mixing the target molecule into the first solution to form a molecularly imprinted polymer solution, (d) coating the molecularly imprinted polymer solution onto a surface, (e) and removing the target molecule to form the conductive molecularly imprinted polymer film.
