Abstract
In the present study, we have explained the preparation of tungsten trioxide thin films having different nanostructures such as, nanoparticles, nanosphere like chain, nanosheets, porous nanowalls, porous nanosphere, nanospindles, nanoplatelets with hierarchical flower like structure, nanoflakes and hierarchical flower like structure using facile electrodeposition method at room temperature. By varying the pH value of the electrolyte by using an organic acid like oxalic acid, we could obtain various nanostructured WO3 thin films. The prepared thin films have been characterised using different analytical techniques and the results are presented.
