Abstract

SF6 decomposition products are of significance to the diagnosis of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) equipment. Amounts of previous literature have employed a series of advanced materials to detect these characteristic products (H2S, SO2, SO2F2 and SOF2). However, the development of the gas-sensitive mechanism is seriously lagging behind the gas-sensitive materials. This work has synthesized the MOF-modification WO3 nanofibers (NFs) via electrospinning, and further investigated its sensitivity toward four gas analytes. With the assistance of in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectra, the sulfites and sulfates sourced from the SO2 adsorption was regarded as the essence of the material poisoning. At the particular bands, the in-situ experiments have indicated the composites performed larger absorbance intensity and better recovery capability than the pristine WO3, which were consistent with the results of gas-sensing experiments. This work provides the guidance for improving the performance of nanomaterials toward SF6 decomposition products by MOF doping.
