Phosphomolybdate nanorods were synthesized using dodecyl pyridinium cations as structure directing agent. Composition and morphology of the nanorods were established by powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Effect of synthetic variables such as pH and nature of templating agent on structure and morphology of the nanorods under ambient condition is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
