Abstract

Thin films of SiO₂-WO₃ composites with various SiO₂ contents (0-20 wt%) were prepared by means of sol-gel method. The grain size of WO₃ decreased with increasing SiO₂ content, resulting in an increase in NO₂ sensitivity. On the other hand, the response transient to NO₂ was brought to be the quickest at 5% SiO₂. The thin film of SiO₂(5%)-WO₃ was far more sensitive to NO₂ than the thin film or sintered block of pure WO₃. It could detect dilute NO₂ (0.1-2 ppm) in air at 350°C sensitively and fairly selectively. The NO₂ sensing characteristics were stable over the whole test period of 10 days.
