The experts prepared the amorphous tungsten trioxide by ultrasound irradiation of a solution of tungsten hexacarbonyl W(CO)6 in diphenylmethane in the presence of an Ar (80%) - O2 (20%) gaseous mixture at 90 °C. Heating this amorphous powder at 550 °C under Ar yields snowflake-like dendritic particles consisting of a mixture of monoclinic and orthorhombic WO2 crystals. Annealing of the as-prepared product in Ar at 1000 °C causes the formation of a WO2-WO3 mixture containing nanorods (around 50 nm in diameter) and packs of these nanorods. Heating the product in air for 3 hours leads to triclinic WO3 crystal formation, with a basic size of 50-70 nm. The prepared oxides have been characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction measurements, FTIR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).
