Among them, two-dimensional hexagonal tungsten trioxide (2D h-WO3) is especially concerned because of high sensitivity and selectivity to some gases. In this paper, the characteristics of 2D h-WO3 gas sensing materials are firstly summarized, then the effects of microstructure, oxygen vacancy and doping modification on the gas sensing performance of 2D h-WO3 are discussed in details. Finally, we propose some future research prospect of 2D h-WO3 gas sensors.
