Abstract

In this work, we propose the facile controlled hydrothermal synthesis of α-MoO3 nanorods at a mild temperature. The microstructure and controlled morphology of the as-obtained product can be tailored by altering growth parameters. The average diameter of the as-obtained nanorods is about 200 nm. Electrochromic properties and capacitor performance of the as-synthesized nanorods were investigated. The results demonstrate electrochromic properties with high corresponding optical modulation range of 47% at a wavelength of 550 nm, good cyclic stability and fast response time.
