One-step solvothermal synthesis of high ordered BaWO4 and BaMoO4 nanostructures

A series of novel ordered BaWO4 (bundle-like, brush-like) and BaMoO4 (spindle arrays, bundle-like, brush-like) nanostructures were synthesized in reverse micelles with a solvothermal method; different shape can be obtained easily by changing the ratio of water to surfactant and temperature. The products of bundle-like, brush-like BaWO4 and spindle arrays, bundle-like BaMoO4 are in high yields. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
