Abstract

Through the controlled removal of surfactant from the presynthesized mesolamellar precursor (WO-L) at elevated temperature, tungsten oxide nanowires with diameters ranging from 10 to 50 nm and lengths up to several micrometers were obtained on a large scale. The structure, morphology, and composition of the nanowires were characterized by the XRD, TEM, HRTEM, EDX, and Raman spectra.
