- Abstract
- The use of chemoresistive gas sensors based on metal oxides has expanded to various fields such as medical diagnosis and air quality systems as well as gas leakage detectors with the development of the Internet of Things. Accordingly, sensitivity, selectivity, power consumption, and reproducibility become important factors in the development of gas sensors. Herein, we developed a facile method to fabricate a gas sensor based on porous Au-incorporated tungsten trioxide (WO3) thin films for highly sensitive and selective NO2 sensing. The mixed solution of ammonium tetrathiotungstate [(NH4)(2)WS4] and gold chloride (AuCl3) was transformed to Au-incorporated WO3 thin films through the spin-coating and annealing process. The gas sensors based on the Au-incorporated WO3 thin films exhibited improved sensitivity, selectivity, and response time upon exposure to NO2 with a significantly low theoretical detection limit of 28 ppt at 150 degrees C compared to gas sensors based on the pristine WO3 thin film. The high sensing properties are attributed to the porous structure and catalytic effects of Au nanoparticles. In addition to these remarkable NO2 sensing properties, the facile and cost-effective fabrication process enlarges the potential of the Au-incorporated WO3 thin films for practical and commercial gas sensing applications.
