Two-step hydrothermal synthesis of (NH4)xWO3 hollow spherical and hierarchical structures

Abstract

Hollow spherical and hierarchical structures of ammonium tungsten bronze ((NH4)xWO3) were prepared via a two-step hydrothermal method. It was found that the (NH4)xWO3 hollow spherical structure without adding citric acid, while the (NH4)xWO3 hierarchical structure formed when adding citric acid at the second hydrothermal step. Both structures consist of nanorods and nanoparticles with connected frames. The possible formation mechanism of these two (NH4)xWO3 structures was proposed and discussed. The current approach is simple, and can also be applied for the synthesis of other tungsten bronze materials with novel structures.
