Hydrothermal Synthesis of Tungsten Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract:

In the present paper, the tungsten oxide nanoparticles were fabricated via a hydrothermal treatment of the H2WO4 precursors. The H2WO4 precursors were prepared by method of precipitation reaction between aqueous Na2WO4 and HCl solution. The products are characterized in detail by multiform techniques: scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The results show that products are WO3 nanoparticles with diameter of about 100-150 nm.
