In this research, the investigation of sensing properties of non-stoichiometric WO3 (WO3−x) film towards some volatile organic compounds (VOC) (namely: Methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone) and ammonia gas are reported. Sensors were tested at several temperatures within the interval ranging from a relatively low temperature of 60 up to 270 °C. Significant variation of selectivity, which depended on the operational temperature of sensor, was observed. Here, the reported WO3/WO3–x-based sensing material opens an avenue for the design of sensors with temperature-dependent sensitivity, which can be applied in the design of new gas- and/or VOC-sensing systems that are dedicated for the determination of particular gas- and/or VOC-based analyte concentration in the mixture of different gases and/or VOCs, using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the major air pollutants inside vehicles. In this research, a highly sensitive gas sensor was developed based on an excellent sensing material and explored for VOCs sensing application. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were performed to evaluate the detailed structural features of sensing material. From the gas-sensing property tests to the three representative VOCs vapors, containing xylene, toluene and formaldehyde, the gas sensor fabricated from the exceptional sensing material significantly responses to the three VOCs vapors. In particular, the xylene response of the sensor is slightly larger than the other two gas response. Thus, the fabricated sensor could be a promising application for VOCs detection inside vehicles.
