Abstract

Tungsten oxide (WO3) films were prepared by using magnetron sputtering. Substrate temperature and sputtering pressure were adjusted to vary the microstructure. The films were found to contain nanoclusters; while their size L, and porosity θ and surface roughness zRMSof the film can be varied. After adding a palladium coating on the film surface, the hydrogen (H2) sensing properties of the films, including sensitivity of detection, response time and recovery time were measured. Their dependences on L, θ and zRMSwere analyzed and interpreted. The information achieved is useful for improving H2sensor technology.
