WO3 nanorolls self-assembled as thin films by hydrothermal synthesis / S. Vankova, S. Zanarini, J. Amici, F. Cámara, R. Arletti, S. Bodoardo, N. Penazzi. - In: NANOSCALE. - ISSN 2040-3364. - 7:16(2015), pp. 7174-7177.
Abstract:
We report a novel type of WO3 nanostructure, i.e. nanorolls obtained as a self-assembled thin film on a transparent conductive substrate. The mild conditions of preparation, avoiding the use of HCl, result in an eco-friendly hydrothermal method with reduced crystallization time. FESEM and HR-TEM show that WO3 nanocrystals are made of rolled nanoflakes with a telescope-like appearance at their tip. For their nano-porosity, electrochemical accessibility, good adhesion to substrates and the envisaged presence of nanocavities between the WO3 layers, these materials hold tremendous promise in nano-electronics, electrochromic devices, water photo-splitting cells, Li-ion batteries and nano-templated filters for UV radiation.
