These films were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Influence of LPG on the electrical properties of the prepared WO 3 thick film is reported. It was observed that the slope of the Arrhenius curves of the WO 3 thick film decreased as the medium changed from pure air to 100 ppm LPG in air. From I-V characteristics, it was observed that the WO 3 thick film exhibit highest sensitivity to 50 ppm LPG in air at 400 o C.
