Abstract

In this study, a simple route for the synthesis of hierarchical W₁₈O₄₉ assembled by nanowires is reported. The morphologies and formation of W₁₈O₄₉ single-crystal could be controlled by changing the concentration of WCl₆-ethanol solution. This synthesis strategy has the advantages that the hierarchical W₁₈O₄₉ microspheres could be economic synthesized at 180 °C without adding additives. Furthermore, efficient optical absorption properties in ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared region were obtained for the hierarchical W₁₈O₄₉ microspheres comparing with nanowires. These results will further promote the research of tungsten-based oxide nanomaterials.

Keywords: Hierarchical structure; Nanowire; Optical absorption; Solvothermal synthesis; W18O49.
