Abstract

Tungsten (VI) oxide, WO₃ particles were synthesized by colloidal gas aphrons technique. The resultant WO₃ particles were characterized by thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) measurements in order to determine the phase transitions, the crystallinity and the size of the WO₃ partic1es. The result from XRD and DTA show that the formation of polymorphs WO₃ particles ,have the following sequence: orthorhombic (β-WO₃)→ monoclinic (γ-WO₃) → triclinic (δ-WO₃) → monoclinic (ε-WO₃ with respect to the calcination temperature of 400, 500, 600 and 700°C. No diffraction peaks were found in the X-Ray diffraction measurements for the sample heat treated at 300°C (as-prepared), suggesting that an amorphous structure was obtained at this temperature whereas the -crystallinity had been obtained by the other samples of the WO₃ particles at the calcination temperatures of 400, 500, 600 and 700°C. It is also found that the X-Ray diffraction measurements produced an average diameter of (30 ± 5), (50 ± 5), (150 ± 10) and (200 ± 10) nm at calcination temperatures of 400, 500, 600 and 700°C respectively by using Debye-Scherrer formula. The TG curve revealed that the WO₃ particles is purely anhydrous since the weight loss is insignificant (0.3-1.4)% from 30 until 600°C for the WO₃ particles calcined at 400°C. Finally, the composition and the purity of the WO₃ particles have been examined by X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicate no significant changes to the composition and the purity of the WO₃ particle produced due to the temperature variations.
