Influence of an external electric field on the rapid synthesis of MoO₃ micro- and nanostructures by Joule heating of Mo wires

Abstract

layered low dimensional structures. Other molybdenum oxide nanostructures, such as nanospheres and nanocrystallites with different shapes, have been found to grow by deposition from the Mo wire on the electrodes used to apply the external electric field. The growth on the electrodes takes place by a thermally assisted electric-field-driven process.
