Catalyst-loaded porous WO3 nanofibers using catalyst-decorated polystyrene colloid templates for detection of biomarker molecules.

Pore-loaded WO3 nanofibers (NFs) functionalized with spherical catalyst films were achieved via electrospinning combined by the sacrificial templating route using layer-by-layer (LbL) catalyst assembled polystyrene (PS) colloids. The catalyst-loaded porous WO3 NFs exhibited significantly improved toluene and acetone detection capability for potential application in exhaled breath analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
