Abstract
With the increasing requirements from toxic and hazardous gas detection technologies, WO3-based gas sensors have garnered tremendous interest on account of their low operating temperatures, good cycling stability, and short response/recovery time. So far, considerable progress has been made in the design and preparation of different architectures of WO3. The sensing mechanism of WO3-based gas sensors is relatively complex. To further optimize the capabilities of WO3-based gas sensors, the influencing factors of the sensing mechanism need to be deeply understood to seek more effective enhanced strategies. This review probes the application of WO3-based sensors for various dangerous gases and contrastively analyses the sensing behavior of WO3 in detail. In addition, we pay special attention to the interfacial interaction pathways between the sensing material and the target gas. Nowadays, more efforts are being made to strengthen the sensing properties of WO3-based materials so that they can be used in more smart demanding and complex environments. The authors focus on four approaches, namely, morphology control, hybridization, defect engineering, and photoactivation, for enhancing gas sensors and providing a comprehensive study of WO3 for gas-sensing applications. Finally, we discuss the current problems and improvement methods and provide an outlook on the development trend of WO3-based gas sensors.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
