Tungsten oxide (WO3) nanostructures of controlled morphology were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The size, shape and crystal structure were tuned by varying amount of precursor and structure directing agent. TEM and XRD measurements confirm the formation of hexagonal and monoclinic...
