Different nanostructured tungsten oxides synthesized by facile solvothermal route for chlorine gas sensing

By varying different solvents, WO3 nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanoflakes were synthesized via facile solvothermal processes without structure-directing agent. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements. The effect of the polarity of organic solvents used in the synthesis procedure on the morphologies of...
