Constructing adsorption site-enhanced ZnWO4/Li6W2O9 heterojunction sensing electrode for efficient performance in impedancemetric NO2 sensor
The application of NO2 sensor reduces the emission of NO2 from the industry and automotive vehicles. However, insufficient electrocatalytic activity and adsorption to NO2 of sensing electrode (SE) limit the sensitivity increment of NO2 sensor. Thus, a novel ZnWO4/Li6W2O9 heterojunction SE is constructed by molten salt method for the zirconia-based impedancemetric NO2 sensor. The influence of the ZnWO4/Li6W2O9 ratio on the performance of the sensor is investigated. The results show that Li6W2O9 in-situ formation on the surface of the ZnWO4 in LiNO3 molten at a low temperature of 300 °C. The incorporation of Li6W2O9 enhances both the adsorption property and electrocatalytic activity of the SE, simultaneously, resulting in a significant increase in the sensitivity of sensor. The sensitivity increases gradually with the increasing incorporation of Li6W2O9. The sensitivity of ZnWO4/37.5% Li6W2O9 sensor is significantly increased by 124% compared to the pristine ZnWO4 sensor and exhibits the largest sensitivity of 25.19 (°) decade−1 at 400 °C. Moreover, the ZnWO4/Li6W2O9 sensor also displays excellent selectivity, long-term stability, and repeatability. The introduction of in-situ formation by molten salt method is an effective strategy to develop gas sensors with large sensitivity.
