Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>An ordered mesoporous WO₃ material with a highly crystalline framework was synthesized by using amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)‐<italic>b</italic>‐polystyrene (PEO‐<italic>b</italic>‐PS) diblock copolymers as a structure‐directing agent through a solvent‐evaporation‐induced self‐assembly method combined with a simple template‐carbonization strategy. The obtained mesoporous WO₃ materials have a large uniform mesopore size (ca. 10.9 nm) and a high surface area (ca. 121 m² g⁻¹). The mesoporous WO₃‐based H₂S gas sensor shows an excellent performance for H₂S sensing at low concentration (0.25 ppm) with fast response (2 s) and recovery (38 s). The high mesoporosity and continuous crystalline framework are responsible for the excellent performance in H₂S sensing.</p> </abstract>
