Abstract: | Nanocomposites constructed by combining mesoporous metal oxides and graphene have received tremendous attention in wide fields of catalysis, energy storage and conversion, gas sensing and so on. Herein, we present a facile interface-induced co-assembly process to synthesize the mesoporous WO3@graphene aerogel nanocomposites (denoted as mWO3@GA), in which graphene aerogel (GA) was used as a macroporous substrate, mesoporous WO3 was uniformly coated on both sides of graphene sheets through a solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) strategy using diblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene (PEO-b-PS) as a template. The resultant mWO3@GA nanocomposites possess well-interconnected macroporous graphene networks covered by mesoporous WO3 layer with a uniform pore size of 19 nm, high surface area of 167 m2/g and large pore volume of 0.26 cm3/g. The gas sensing performance of mWO3@GA nanocomposites toward acetone and other gases was studied, showing a high selectivity and great response to acetone at low temperature of 150 °C, which could be developed as a promising candidate as novel sensors for VOCs detection. |
