Abstract
In this paper, porous WO3 films were prepared by anodic oxidation of metallic tungsten (W) films deposited on alumina substrates. The structural and morphological properties of the porous WO3 films were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A large number of cracks appeared on the surface of films after anodization, which makes the films porous. The porous WO3 sensors achieved their maximum response values to NO2 at a low operating temperature of 150°C. The porous WO3 sensors showed high response values, great stability and fast response–recovery characteristics to different concentration of NO2 gas due to the high specific surface area and special structural and morphological properties.
