Hydrothermal Fabrication of WO3 Hierarchical Architectures: Structure, Growth and Response
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently hierarchical architectures, consisting of two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures, are of great interest for potential applications in energy and environmental. Here, novel rose-like WO₃ hierarchical architectures were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. The as-prepared WO₃ hierarchical architectures were in fact assembled by numerous nanosheets with an average thickness of ~30 nm. We found that the oxalic acid played a significant role in governing morphologies of WO₃ during hydrothermal process. Based on comparative studies, a possible formation mechanism was also proposed in detail. Furthermore, gas-sensing measurement showed that the well-defined 3D WO₃ hierarchical architectures exhibited the excellent gas sensing properties towards CO.

Fabrication of (001)-oriented monoclinic WO3 films on FTO substrates.
(001)-oriented monoclinic nanorod and microplate WO3 films are fabricated on commercial FTO-coated glass substrates by a rubbing seed layer and a spin-coating seed layer assisted by hydrothermal reactions. The nanorod film obtained by the rubbing seed layer assisted by hydrothermal reactions is more regular and perpendicular to the substrate.

Tungsten oxide (WO3) nanostructure were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method at 150° C using tungstate dehydrates (Na2WO4.2H2O) as the precursor. Without any additive, scanning electron microscopy revealed a rhombus shaped WO3 nanostructures while with the addition of sodium chloride, the morphology changes to nano-dagger bundles that formed flower-like structure. Furthermore, the size o...

In this study, a sol-gel peroxotungstic acid sol was employed to deposit tungsten oxide (WO3) films by the spin-coating technique. In view of smart window applications, electrochromic windows were then designed and fabricated using a thin tungsten oxide film. For this purpose, Glass/ FTO/ WO3/ electrolyte/ FTO/Glass could be of use due to its special structure that consists of an electrochromic...
