摘要
Tungsten oxide(WO3) nanocrystals have been synthesized successfully by a simple solvent-regulated solvothermal approach. The as-obtained sample was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The NO2-sensing properties of WO3 nanocrystals were also investigated. It was found that the sensor displayed excellent gas sensing properties to NO2 at the optimal operating temperature of 100 degrees C and behaved as an abnormal p-type semiconductor at near room temperature (RT). The response was about 28.3 and the response-recovery time was around 24 and 137 s for 1 ppm NO2, respectively, indicating that this structure could be a good candidate for gas sensors. In addition, the possible formation mechanism and gas sensing mechanism were proposed. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
