Hierarchical flower-like WO3 · H2O microspheres assembled by nanosheets were successfully prepared through a simple hydrothermal route. Field emission scanning electron microscopy results indicate that the flower-like WO3 · H2O microspheres are composed of numerous nanosheets, which are interconnected with each other in the sphere shape. In addition, the gas sensing properties of the hierarchical WO3 · H2O microspheres were investigated. It is found that the gas sensor based on the hierarchical WO3 · H2O architectures exhibits excellent gas sensing properties towards H2S gas, including high gas response and fast response/recovery speed.

In this paper gas sensing properties of 0.5–3% polyaniline (PAni) doped SnO 2 thin films sensors prepared by chemical route have been studied towards the trace level detection of NO 2 gas. The structural, optical and surface morphological properties of the PAni doped SnO 2 thin films were investigated by performing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy measurements. A good correlation has been identified between the microstructural and gas sensing properties of these prepared sensors. Out of these films, 1% PAni doped SnO 2 sensor showed high sensitivity towards NO 2 gas along with a sensitivity of 3.01 × 102 at 40°C for 10 ppm of gas. On exposure to NO 2 gas, resistance of all sensors increased to a large extent, even greater than three orders of magnitude. These changes in resistance upon removal of NO 2 gas are found to be reversible in nature and the prepared composite film sensors showed good sensitivity with relatively faster response/recovery speeds.

Toluene is extensively used in many industrial products, which needs to be effectively detected by sensitive gas sensors even at low-ppm-level concentrations. Here, NiFe2O4 nano-octahedrons were calcinated from NiFe-bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOFs) octahedrons synthesized by a facile refluxing method. The co-existence of p-Phthalic acid (PTA) and 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) promotes the formation of smooth NiFe-bimetallic MOFs octahedrons. After subsequent thermal treatment, a big weight loss (about 85%) transformed NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (30 nm) into NiFe2O4 porous nano-octahedrons with hollow interiors. The NiFe2O4 nano-octahedron based sensor exhibited excellent gas sensing properties for toluene with a nice stability, fast response, and recovery time (25 s/40 s to 100 ppm toluene), and a lower detection limitation (1 ppm) at 260 °C. The excellent toluene-sensing properties can not only be derived from the hollow interiors combined with porous nano-octahedrons to favor the diffusion of gas molecules, but also from the efficient catalytic activity of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles.

Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles have been synthesized by a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The structures, morphologies and surface compositions of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test results show that we have prepared higher purity Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles. The gas-sensing properties of pure and Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles on acetone vapor were further investigated. The results obtained show that the response-recovery time of the two samples prepared is relatively short compared to that reported in the current literature. The Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles are significantly more sensitive and selective than the pure WO3 nanoparticles. This may be mainly attributed to the synergy between Au and WO3. It is expected that the Au-sensitized WO3 nanoparticles thus prepared can also be used for research in other fields.

BiFeO3 nanocrystals were applied as the sensing material to isopropanol. The isopropanol sensor based on BiFeO3 nanocrystals shows excellent gas-sensing properties at the optimum working temperature of 240 °C. The sensitivity of as-prepared sensor to 100 ppm isopropanol is 31 and its response and recovery time is as fast as 6 and 17 s. The logarithmic curves of the sensitivity and concentration of BiFeO3 sensors are a very good linear in the low detection range of 2–100 ppm. In addition, the gas sensing mechanism is also discussed. The results suggest that the BiFeO3 nanomaterial can be potentially applied in isopropanol gas detection.
