Ethanol sensing properties of tungsten oxide nanorods prepared by microwave hydrothermal method

CTAB-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of tungsten oxide microflowers

“…A number of synthetic methods have been developed for WO 3 such as a hydrothermal/solvothermal route [2,3,5,7], thermal processing [4], electric heating in vacuum [6], and physical/chemical vapor deposition process [8,9]. Among these, synthesis under hydrothermal conditions is a low-temperature, environmentally benign and low-cost route for preparation of nanosized oxide materials, and is becoming an increasingly attractive method [10].…”

Growth study and photocatalytic properties of Co-doped tungsten oxide mesocrystals

“…Till now, a broad range of tungsten oxide nanostructures have been prepared by various strategies, including thermal evaporation, microwave irradiation, sol-gel method, combustion synthesis, and solvothermal method [11][12][13][14][15]. In particular, soft-chemistry route especially solvothermal synthesis is capable of generating tungsten oxide nanostructures with controllable morphology and crystalline structure, such as WO 3 [16][17][18][19][20]. Recently, much research effort has been paid to the investigation on tungsten oxide mesocrystals, which pave a new way for the assembly of low-dimensional nanostructured tungsten oxides.…”

Microwave combustion synthesis of hexagonal prism shaped ZnO nanoparticles and effect of Cr on structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO nanoparticles

“…This shows the acceleration in reaction rate, improvement of yield, high purity material, size distribution and good control of stoichiometry [15]. Because of this the microwave combustion method has been used in the synthesis of nanoparticles with novel structure and properties, such as a-MnO 2 nanowires [16], tungsten nanorods [17], Pt, Pd, Ag and Ru nanoprisms [18], sphere, flower, star like ZnO [19] etc.…”
