Abstract

Tungsten oxide microtubules, arrayed in a radial flower-like structure, were synthesized by simply using W powders reacting with Ni(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O at a elevated temperature. The formed microtubules, with lengths more than 100 μm and outer diameters of 1-5 μm, have irregular open ends, showing clear grooves along the growth direction on the tubule surface. A novel aggregation mechanism based on chemical-vapor-deposit process was proposed to describe the growth process of the synthesized tubules, and the possible mechanism for the arrangement of the radial flower-like morphology was discussed. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
