Dispersed WO3 nanoparticles with porous nanostructure for ultrafast toluene sensing
2019
Abstract The preparation of size-controlled materials has shown remarkable potential with regard to their reinforced sensing performance. Herein, we report a facile solvothermal synthesis of dispersed WO 3 nanoparticles with porous nanostructure caused by particle assembly. Various characterizations of the as-obtained samples were analyzed. Furthermore, the gas sensing properties of WO 3 samples on volatile organic compounds were investigated. The results reveal that the gas sensors based on synthesized WO 3 samples with suitable hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) amount and sintering treatment exhibit the highest response (132.0) towards 100 ppm toluene at the optimal working temperature of 225 °C with fast response/recovery time (2 s/6 s), which is attributed to the porous structure of the sensing film and the high resistance caused by well crystallization and grain boundary among the nanoparticles.
