WO3 nanostructure with nanocube morphology was synthesized through acidification of Na2WO4·2H2O, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the result of the present work implied that the sensor fabricated by nanocube WO3 could detect the level of 330 ppb H2S, which is much lower than the threshold limit value of 10 ppm. Compared with other results, the nanocube WO3 sensor shows higher sensitivity, excellent selectivity and faster response/recovery to H2S. Especially, the best operating temperature of this nanocube WO3 for H2S detection is 100 °C.
