Abstract

Na0.3WO3 1D nanostructure forms (nanorods and nanobelts) were grown by a solid–liquid–solid mechanism from a 40 nm sputtered tungsten film deposited on a soda-lime substrate and annealed at 700 °C in a tubular furnace in N2 ambient. The morphology, structure, composition and chemical state of the prepared nanostructures were characterized by SEM, XRD, TEM, SAED and XPS measurements. The Na0.3WO3 1D nanostructures were found to have a cubic crystalline structure and grown along the [0 0 1] direction. The nanorods are a few micrometres in length and about 50 nm in diameter. The field-emission application of the prepared samples at different distances between the cathode and the anode was characterized in a UHV chamber at room temperature and a field enhancement factor of 1736 at a distance of 350 µm was found.
