چکیده
In this study the synthesis of molybdenum oxide nano-whiskers with circular cross-section is performed. In some areas, it was observed that also some whiskers have open tips exhibiting their hollow structures. These whiskers have side dimensions ranging 2-5 μm with an average diameter in the nanometer rang. The structure suggested the vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism (VLS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize microstructure evolution of specimens treated by heating processes.
