Chemical warfare
The Tank
The "creeping" barrage
tracking of enemy artillery for counter battery fire beyond line of sight.

Pretty much everything else had been used prior to WWI, but it's use was refined or expanded. As an example, the machine gun had been used in combat before, but it was a common item in WWI.
