Article Description

Among different type of transition metal oxides, tungsten trioxide (WO ) is a suitable candidate for electronic device fabrication due to its n-type property and wide band gap. Herein, one-dimensional tungsten trioxide (WO ) nanorods were achieved from an aqueous solution of sodium tungstate dihydrate (Na WO · H O) and sodium chloride (NaCl) in an acidic media by a time-optimized hydrothermal synthesis in autoclave at 180°C or different synthesis durations. For studying morphology and size of obtained powder, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) were applied. Finally, WO nanorods of about 2-3 lm in length and 100-200 nm indiameter were obtained during 3 h hydrothermal process. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
