In situ one-pot synthesis of 1-dimensional transition metal oxide nanocrystals.
One-dimensional colloidal metal oxide nanocrystals are of great importance in materials chemistry, but reports on these materials are rare due to lack of well-defined synthetic protocols. In this paper, we present a general and highly effective one-pot synthetic protocol to produce 1-dimensional nanostructures of transition metal oxide (e.g., W(18)O(49), TiO(2), Mn(3)O(4), and V(2)O(5)) through thermally induced crystal growth processes from a mixture of metal chloride and surfactants.
