Abstract

The self-synthesis of tungsten oxide (W18O49) nanowires/nanosheets on sputtering-deposited tungsten films was obtained by thermal annealing in nitrogen under the thermal budgets of 750 °C for ≥2 h or ≥850 °C for 0.5 h. Experimental evidence of the nanomorphology transformation of tungsten oxide nanostructures from nanowires to nanosheets was presented, which can be attributed to the formation and re-crystallization of an amorphous interface layer between two neighboring parallel-growth nanowires linked together with a low angle misalignment along their growth directions.
