Abstract

W O 3 nanofibers (NFs), with diameter of about 150–200nm, were grown using the electrospinning technique starting from WCl6 as tungsten source. The NFs were deposited onto a patterned substrate, for gas sensing measurements, and on a silicon substrate, for chemical and structural characterizations. The chemical composition of the NFs was determined by the x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, while high spatial resolution soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopy showed a chemical image of the NF. The gas sensing properties of these NFs were checked towards NO2 and CO, showing a good response for NO2 while no effect was observed for CO.
