Research Progress of Gas Sensing Performance of 2D Hexagonal WO3

Abstract

Metal oxide semiconductor gas sensing materials have attracted great research interest in the gas sensor field due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties, low cost, and easy preparation. Among them, two-dimensional hexagonal tungsten trioxide (2D h-WO3) is especially interesting because of its high sensitivity and selectivity to some gases. We firstly introduce the characteristics of 2D h-WO3 gas sensing materials and discuss the effects of microstructure, oxygen vacancy, and doping modification on the gas sensing properties of 2D h-WO3 mainly. Finally, we explore the application of 2D h-WO3 gas sensing materials and propose some research directions.
