Abstract

The results of the development of gas chemical nanosensors with sensing elements based on tungsten oxides are presented in the review. The developed devices are systematized in accordance with the features of construction of their sensing elements. Four groups of nanosensors are specified: devices with sensing elements containing a coating of only tungsten oxide (Group 1); nanosensors with sensing elements containing a coating of tungsten oxide and an outer layer of another material (Group 2); devices with sensing elements containing a coating of tungsten oxide, a layer of composite material, and an outer layer of another metal oxide (Group 3); and nanosensors with sensing elements containing a coating of composite material based on tungsten oxide (Group 4). The analytical capabilities of the devices of these groups are assessed. Some patterns in their behavior are discussed. In particular, the potential of nanosensors in the identification of a large number of organic and inorganic chemical compounds is demonstrated. The effect of thickness, morphology, composition of the coating, and temperature of the sensing elements on the sensitivity and selectivity of measurements and the response and recovery times is shown.
