The surface gas sensor was prepared by thick film process,and nanometer tungsten trioxide powder was prepared by sol-gel method.Then different amounts of antimony trioxide were added as sensitive materials to obtain La2O3/WO3,and the performance of sensor was tested.It was found that the addition of proper amount of La2O3 inhibited the growth of crystal grains and improved the gas sensitivity of powder materials.La2O3/WO3 sensor with 10% (wt,mass fraction) of La2O3 was used under 3.5V operating voltage.The response voltages for the concentration of 10×10-6 ethanol,acetone,benzene and xylene were 1.7V,2.0V,1.5V and 2.0V,respectively.The response-recovery time of sensor was relatively fast,and the response and recovery time were 5s and 15s.
