Nanoscale heterostructures based on WO3-x nanoneedles functionalized with Fe2O3 nanoparticles are integrated directly into flexible polymer-based transducing platforms via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Results demonstrate that the incorporation of Fe2O3 nanoparticles at the surface of WO3-x nanoneedles enhances the electronic and sensing properties of WO3-x, providing a 6-fold increase in sensitivity to toluene and low cross-sensitivity to hydrogen and ethanol. These enhanced-sensing properties are comparable to those obtained via functionalization with precious metal (Pt) nanoparticles, which are commonly used to enhance sensor performance.
