Synthesis of core-shell flower-like WO3@ZIF-71 with enhanced response and selectivity to H2S gas
Core-shell heterostructures of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) and metal organic framework (MOF) improve gas-sensing properties due to the MOF's molecular sieving effects. However, the selection of MOF is limited by the requirement of identical metal element in MOF to that in MOS, which is crucial for valid interface adhesion. In this paper, WO 3 @ZIF-71 (zeolitic imidazolate framework) structure with different metal elemental components (W and Zn) was fabricated by a step-by-step (SBS) approach. As a result, ZIF-71 was uniformly coated on the surface of WO 3 . In order to explore the influence of ZIF-71 (pore size: 4.8 Å), the gas sensitivity of WO 3 and WO 3 @ZIF-71 were tested. Different kinetic diameters gases: H 2 S (3.62 Å), CH 3 COCH 3 (4.6 Å), CH 3 CH 2 OH (4.53 Å), NO 2 (5.8 Å) were selected as testing gas. Gases with small molecules (H 2 S, CH 3 COCH 3 and CH 3 CH 2 OH) can pass through the membrane of ZIF-71 and contact with WO 3 , while larger ones (NO 2 ) were blocked outside the membrane. Excitingly, the response of WO 3 @ZIF-71 toward H 2 S gas was significantly improved, which soars from 2.24 of 20 ppm for pure WO 3 to 19.12 for H 2 S at 250 °C, increased about 9 times. These results indicate that the MOS@MOF core-shell structure can be synthesized by the SBS method without the restriction of the same metal elements in MOS and MOF, which is also an effective approach to regulate the selectivity and sensitivity of the MOS@MOF gas sensor.
