Abstract

Direct evidence of the transformation of WOx species in WO3 nanoclusters on WOx–ZrO2 system was achieved by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectroscopy on samples obtained by a conventional precipitation method and annealed from 560 to 800 °C. WO3 Nanoclusters with 2-nm crystal size orthorhombic structure were identified on the ZrO2 surface after annealing at 800 °C.
