Abstract
Nano tungsten carbide (WC) was synthesized using loose yellow tungsten oxide (WO3) rods, which were derived from violet tungsten oxide (WO2.72) through calcination in dry oxygen. The WO3 rods were then subjected to ball milling with carbon black, followed by carbothermal reduction and carbonization. Unlike conventional methods such as hydrogen reduction or carbothermal reduction, this technique avoids the formation of hydrated tungsten oxides and addresses challenges related to precise carbon control and matching. This streamlined procedure produces nanoscale tungsten carbide particles approximately 150 nm in size, showing great potential for future industrial applications.
