... difference was related to surface states. XPS spectra of O1s showed that the content of OHwas larger for hexagonal-shape hexagonal WO3 (O 2− /OH − /H2O (in %) = 60.0/38.1/1.9, in Figure 1e) than for cuboid-shape monoclinic WO3 (80.4/4.9/14.7, in Figure 1f). The results suggested that the high content of oxygen adsorbate (O 2− ) on the surface of WO3 could be contributed to higher sensor response. ...

In this study, an inexpensive simple method for the fabrication of efficient hydrogen (H2) gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was presented. The CNTs were synthesized using microwave oven and deposited onto SiO2 substrate by a dielectrophoretic method. The as-grown CNTs showed an n-type behavior because CNTs possess the characters of both...
