Abstract

A facile method was developed to prepare cellulose-based WO3 nanocomposites. The preparation was carried out by a sol-gel method by involving treatment of tungsten hexachloride and tri-block nonionic polymer at the temperature as low as 100 °C. The morphology, surface chemical composition, functional groups, and crystal phase of the as- prepared cellulose-based WO3 nanocomposites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction, respectively.
