Abstract: Single-crystalline WO3 nanorods were fabricated by a hydrothermal method in the presence of Na3PO4. The properties of products were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and EDX. The effects of other alkali salts (NaCl, NaNO3 and Na2SO4) on the morphologies of WO3 nanocrystals were also investigated. The resuts show that Na3PO4 plays an important role in synthesizing the WO3 nanorods. As the content of the assisted Na3PO4 reaches 50g, the WO3 nanorods synthesized in this reaction system have better quality.

Key words: hydrothermal, WO3, nanorod
