Abstract: | This article reports on the fabrication of WO(3) nanorods using an efficient straightforward synthetic technique, without a catalyst, and using a single precursor. The thermal dissociation of WO(OMe)(4) at 700 degrees C in a closed Swagelok cell under an air/inert atmosphere yielded W(18)O(49) nanorods. Annealing of W(18)O(49) at 500 degrees C under an air atmosphere led to the formation of pure WO(3) nanorods. The obtained products are characterized by morphological (scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy), structural (X-ray diffraction analysis, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy), and compositional energy-dispersive X-ray and elemental (C, H, N, S) analysis] measurements. The mechanism of the formation of nonstoichiometric W(18)O(49) nanorods is supported by the measured analytical data and several control experiments. |
