The influence of the encapsulation of WO3nanorods with ZnO on the NO2gas sensing properties was examined. WO3-core/ZnO-shell nanorods were fabricated by a two-step process comprising the catalyst-free thermal evaporation of a mixture of WO3and graphite powders in an oxidizing atmosphere and atomic layer deposition of ZnO. Multiple networked WO3-core/ZnO-shell nanorod sensors showed the response of 281 % at 5 ppm NO2at 300 °C. This response value was approximately 9 times larger than that of bare WO3nanorod sensors at 5 ppm NO2. The response values obtained from the WO3-core/ZnO-shell nanorods in this study were more than 5 times higher than those obtained previously from the SnO2-core/ZnO-shell nanofibers at the same NO2concentration range. The significant enhancement in the response of WO3nanorods to NO2gas by encapsulating them with ZnO can be accounted for based on the space-charge model.
