In this paper, a characterization method has been developed in situ to study the microstructural changes of tungsten oxide nanowires induced by thermal effects, in which the Eu3+ rare earth ions are pre-doped into the WO3 nanowires (Eu@WO3 nanowires). The thermal effect in the Eu@WO3 nanowires have...
