Synthesis and Examination of Hexagonal Tungsten Oxide Nanocrystals for Electrochromic and Sensing Applications

Abstract

Tungsten oxides are among the most used materials in hazardous gas detection. In this work, a soft chemical nanocrystalline processing route was demonstrated for the preparation of hexagonal tungsten oxides. The structure of parent phases was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and by X-ray diffraction.
