Abstract A heterojunction structure design is a very good method for improving the properties of semiconductors in many research fields. This method is employed in the present study to promote the gas-sensing performance of Ag3PO4 nanocomposites at room temperature (25 ℃). A nanocomposite of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles and three-dimensional peony-like WO3 (WO3/Ag3PO4) was successfully prepared by the precipitation method. The crystalline phases were analyzed by x-ray diffraction and the microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The chemical bonding states were analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The gas-sensing performance of WO3/Ag3PO4 sensors was systematically explored at room temperature. The composite sensors possessed a higher response and lower detection limit (1 ppm) to NH3 than those made of a single type of material; this is ascribed to the synergistic effect achieved by the heterojunction structure. Among the different composite sensors tested, gas sensor A5W5 (Ag3PO4:WO3 mass ratio of 5:5) displayed the highest response to NH3 at room temperature. Interestingly, the A5W5 gas sensor exhibited relatively good stability and excellent selectivity to NH3. The A5W5 sensor also displayed a relatively good response under high humidity. The gas-sensing mechanism of the WO3/Ag3PO4 sensors is explained in detail. Taken together, the as-prepared sensor is highly efficient at detecting NH3 and could be suitable for practical applications. In addition, this study also provides a new method for developing Ag3PO4-based sensors in the gas-sensing field.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
