Abstract
In this study, the photochromic MoO 3 powder with novel morphology has been synthesized via hydrothermal method, using ethylene diamine tetraacetice acid (EDTA) as organic inducing agent. The influence of EDTA on the morphology, structure and photochromic properties of MoO 3 powder has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), as well as ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV–vis) and color difference meter. When the molar ratio of EDTA/Mo 6+ is 0.05:1, the EDTA-induced MoO 3 powder is found to have 3D flower-like morphologies and excellent photochromic properties. Furthermore, the possible growth mechanism of the flower-like structure and the photochromic mechanism of MoO 3 powder are also discussed in detail.
