Five reference electrodes CaO+O2, Caβ″/β/α-Al2O3 (powder)+O2,Cr+Cr2O3, Nb+NbO and Mo+MoO2 were tested in order to select a better reference electrode for this sensor. The limit of determining oxygen activity and the extended-life of the sensor were also tested in this study.展开更多

X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, high resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM） were used to characterize the morphology, microstructure and crystallinity of the as-synthesized samples. The hexagonal WO3 nanorods show a better crystallinity than Cr2O3 nanoparticles. When the molar ratio of W/Cr is 10：1, the hexagonal WO3-Cr2O3 nanocomposite shows obvious selectivity toward 2-butanone at 205℃ compared with other typical reducing gases, and the response value to 100 ppm 2- butanone can reach 5.6. However, there is no selectivity toward 2-butanone when the Cr/W molar ratio is 1：4 and 1：40. Furthermore, hexagonal WO3-Cr2O3 nanocomposites have a short response and recovery time to 5ppm 2-butanone, which is lOs and 80s, respectively. The measured results indicate that hexagonal WO3-Cr2O3 nanocomposite is a potential gas sensing material for monitoring volatile organic compounds （VOCs）.展开更多
