Abstract WO3·0.33H2O microshuttles (WMSs) self-assembled by numerous nanorods along the same direction were prepared based on a cheap tungsten-containing metallurgical raw material by combination processes of NaOH leaching and one-step hydrothermal method. The microstructures and gas sensing properties of various concentrations (0, 0.7, 1.0, and 1.3 mol%) of Pt-doped WMSs were investigated to improve their performance. The microstructural characterizations demonstrated that the WMSs assembled by one-dimensional WO3·0.33H2O nanorods were approximately 0.8−1.9 µm in diameter. Such nanorods exhibited a single hexagonal structure with their diameters ranging from 17 to 62 nm. The gas sensing properties indicated that Pt-doped WMSs showed superior gas sensing performance in terms of the sensor response and NH3 selectivity in the operating temperature range of 25−225 oC as compared with pure one, and simultaneously Pt doping could significantly reduce the detection limit of NH3. Especially, 1.0 mol% Pt-doped WMSs exhibited highest response of 28.2 to 1000 ppm NH3 at 175 oC, which was 4 times higher than pure one at 50 oC. The remarkably enhanced gas sensing performance of Pt-doped WMSs to NH3 could be ascribed to the electronic and chemical sensitization mechanisms of noble metal nanoparticles.

In this study, CdS nanowires (NWs)/Ag nanoparticle materials (CdS@Ag) with Schottky junction were synthesized by a simple process. The Ag nanoparticles with a diameter of 3–10 nm were uniformly scattered on the surface of CdS NWs with an average diameter of 30 nm. The gas sensing properties and the effect of Ag content and relative humidity on the ethanol sensing properties of CdS NWs were investigated in detail. When the relative humidity was below 60% RH, the sensor, especially the one based on [email protected], exhibited an enhanced ethanol sensing response and selectivity compared with that of pristine CdS NWs, which was believed that Ag catalyzed the reaction between ionized oxygen species and ethanol. However, excessive Ag content does not mean a higher response and even decreased the response. Also, the stability of CdS NWs and CdS@Ag NWs was also investigated, which were almost stable for four months.

In this work, we have triumphantly synthesized porous nanosheet-assembled ZnO/NiO hierarchical microflower via a one-step hydrothermal method. On this basis, a corresponding gas sensor was fabricated to detect its sensitivity to H2S gas. The results indicated that porous flower-like hierarchical structures hold favorable superiority in the gas sensing towards H2S as compared to ZnO/NiO nanosheets. The superior sensing behavior may correlate with the special architecture offering abundant reaction sites, rapid channels and surface accessibility for gas transportation. Besides, p–n heterojunction at their interface and strong catalysis of NiO also play an important role in the enhancement of sensing properties.
