The present invention provides capacitive gas sensor and manufacturing method thereof in which the capacitive gas sensor comprises: a first electrode; a second electrode; a gas-sensitive dielectric material arranged between the first and the second electrodes to form a gas sensitive capacitor, the gas-sensitive dielectric material has a permittivity that depends on an amount of a gas compound absorbed from the environmental medium; and a dielectric-electrode interfacing material arranged at an interface between the gas-sensitive dielectric material and at least one of the first and second electrodes. The dielectric-electrode interfacing material is adapted to absorb thermally-induced dilatation of the at least one of the first and second electrodes for reducing mechanical stress on the gas-sensitive dielectric material.
