Defect and facet engineering are the two effective approaches to tune the surface reactivity of metal-oxide-based sensing materials. Here, oxygen vacancies defective of WO 3 nanosheets with exposed (002) crystal facet [D-WO 3 -(002)] were obtained by a simple hydrothermal−hydrogenation process. The results revealed that a D-WO 3 -( 002)-based acetone sensor exhibits excellent comprehensive gas sensitive performance: low limit of detection (0.5 ppm), wide range of 0.5−100 ppm (S = 2.8∼45.6), high selectivity, fast response−recovery, and excellent repeatability. The outstanding gas-sensing performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of the dominant (002) facet and the defect of oxygen vacancy structure, which effectively improved the surface reactivity of monoclinic WO 3 nanosheets. For highly sensitive and wide range sensing performance, this work demonstrates tremendous potential application prospect for environmental monitoring of acetone and non-invasive diagnosis of diabetes.
