Synthesis of MoO3 long microsheets and fiber optic gas sensing properties

This communication reports hydrothermal synthesis of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) with long micro sheets morphology and their gas sensing characteristics through clad-modified fiber optic gas sensor technique. Synthesized material is subjected to characterization analysis including XRD, SEM and Raman Spectra. Spectral analysis on the gas sensing characteristics reveal that MoO3 microsheets exhibit good gas response to methanol at room temperature. Gas sensing mechanism is also discussed.
