Abstract

Because of the characteristics of both one dimensional nanostructure and excellent physical and chemical properties, the kinds of novel nanomaterials-tungsten carbide nanowires, have important academic significance and practical meaning. The research development of one-dimensional nanostructured tungsten carbide is reviewed. The production methods of one-dimensional nanostructured tungsten carbide, such as nanotubes, nanorods, nanowires and nanoneedles by thermal decomposition technique, vapour deposition technique, magnetron sputtering technique, Eruptive heating technique and template technique respectively are systematically introduced. This paper summarizes the growth mechanisms and the problems involved in the existing synthesis methods. The research tendency is also forecasted.
