Transitional metal oxides (TMO) such as ZnO, CuO, CdO, TiO2, and NiO had been widely applied in the field of gas sensing. Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is one of the n-type semiconducting TMO materials which possess fantastic properties such as wide band gap, thermal stability and surface-active sites. The WO3 nanomaterials also studied for various applications viz photocatalysts, photoelectrode, photochromism. The WO3 with various morphologies such as cauliflower, thin film, nanosheets and nano-spherical particles have been utilized for gas sensing. Nanosized WO3 is very sensitive toward reducing and oxidizing gas such as ethanol and Nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
