Hierarchically nanostructured WO3 microspheres that had two types of Au functionalization modes (i.e., Au-loaded mode and Au-doped mode) were characterized in terms of their microstructure and NO2 sensing performance. Pure, Au-loaded, and Au-doped WO3 microspheres were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, followed by a dipping method for Au-loaded WO3 microspheres. Microstructure characterization indicated that uniform microspheres with 3-6 mu m in diameter were assembled from numerous well-defined individual WO3 nanorods with a single crystal hexagonal structure. The morphology and size of the WO3 microspheres were not affected by the functionalization of the Au nanoparticles, and the W, O, and Au elements were well-distributed in the WO3 microspheres. The NO2 sensing properties indicated that the Au nanoparticles not only improved the sensor response and reproducibility but also decreased the operating temperature at which the sensor response reached a maximum. Gas sensors based on pure, Au-loaded, and Au-doped WO3 microspheres exhibited a linear relationship between the sensor response and NO2 concentration. The sensing performance was significantly enhanced in the following order: pure, Au-loaded, and Au-doped WO3 microspheres. This result is due to the modulation of the depletion layer via oxygen adsorption as well as chemical and electronic sensitization of Au nanoparticles. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
