An ordered mesoporous WO3 material with a highly crystalline framework was synthesized by using amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene (PEO-b-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 m(2) 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.
