The NiO-WO₃ nanocubes are synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis. The p-n junction is formed by introducing p-type NiO to WO₃ nanocubes. The products are characterized by XRD and SEM and have cube-like structures which are successfully retained after introducing NiO. The formaldehyde gas sensing properties are systematically investigated between the pure and NiO-WO₃ nanocubes. The NiO-WO₃ nanocube sensor exhibits enhanced response and lower operating temperature compared to the pure one. Especially, the 5% molar fraction of NiO-WO₃ nanocube sensor exhibits the excellent sensing properties. Its highest response to 0.134 mg/L formaldehyde gas is 18.5 at 200 ℃. In addition, fast response and recovery, good reproducibility and stability, and good selectivity to formaldehyde are also obtained, indicating the formation of NiO-WO₃ heterojunction in favor of improving the sensing properties. Meanwhile, the sensing enhancement mechanism of the NiO-WO₃ nanocubes is also discussed, which is related to the formation of hetrojunction at interface and the high catalytic activity of NiO.
