Optimization, Yield Studies and Morphology of WO<sub>3</sub>Nano-Wires Synthesized by Laser Pyrolysis in C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>and O<sub>2</sub>Ambients&#8212;Validation of a New Growth Mechanism

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Laser pyrolysis has been used to synthesize WO<sub>3</sub>nanostructures. Spherical nano-particles were obtained when acetylene was used to carry the precursor droplet, whereas thin films were obtained at high flow-rates of oxygen carrier gas. In both...
