Fast response-recovery time toward acetone by a sensor prepared with Pd doped WO₃ nanosheets.

ABSTRACT: Pd-WO₃ nanosheets were synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method using Na₂PdCl₄ solution as the palladium source and sodium tungstate as the tungsten source, and were used to detect acetone. After being characterized by TEM, XRD, BET and XPS, it was found that Pd doped on the surface of WO₃ nanosheets was mainly present as metal palladium, and the specific surface area increased after doping. In addition, the effect of Pd doping on gas sensing properties was studied. When the Pd-doped amount was 2 at%, sensors fabricated with the composites had the best gas sensing performance. Under a 100 ppm acetone atmosphere, the response time was 1 s and the recovery time was 9 s. The detection limit for acetone was 50 ppb at the optimum working tem
