Accelerated electron beam induced breakdown of commercial WO3 into nanorods in the presence of triethylamine

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Tungsten oxide nanorods were prepared from commercial crystalline WO3 particles treated with triethylamine under electron beam irradiation in an electron microscope operating at 200 kV. The amine acts as a molecular knife, cleaving the particles under beam irradiation.
