Development and characterization of WO3 nanoflakes for selective ethanol sensing

Despite an increasing demand for applications, the partial selectivity of metal oxide-based gas sensors limits their practical use in some cases, such as for ethanol detection. Consequently, the search for a performing ethanol sensor is still an open challenge. In this work, tungsten oxide nanoflake powders were synthesized by means of solvothermal technique in sight of ethanol sensing. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction,...
