Abstract
The vacuum-deposited thin film of hydrated tungsten oxide (WO3 center dot nH(2)O) embedded poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD/WO3 center dot nH(2)O) nanocomposite was fabricated on an indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass surface for potential NO2 gas sensor application. The resulting PoPD/WO3 center dot nH(2)O/ITO thin film was characterized using Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and electron microscopy (SEM). The composite thin film exhibited a crystalline surface morphology containing nanocrystalls of WO3 center dot nH(2)O with a diameter ranging from 5 to 10nm. The PoPD/WO3 center dot nH(2)O/ITO film allowed for the low potential detection of NO2 gas at concentration range from 0 to 1800ppm. The NO2 gas sensing characteristics were studied by measuring change in the current with respect to concentration and time. The current of the PoPD/WO3 center dot nH(2)O/ITO film was linearly increased with an increase in concentration of NO2 gas with a response of similar to 9s.
