β‐MoO3is a monoclinic phase of MoO3; it has been shown to be a promising material that can replace α‐MoO3in chemical, optical, electronic, and electrochromic applications. However, the difficulty in synthesizing β‐MoO3with a one‐dimensional (1D) morphology has limited its use in applications requiring a large specific surface area. In the present work, β‐MoO3whiskers were prepared by thermally evaporating α‐MoO3powder in a tube furnace at temperatures (Tf) from 750 to 1000°C and under flowing O2gas. The collected samples were identified as mainly β‐MoO3by X‐ray diffraction measurements, and the highest purity β‐MoO3was obtained atTf= 1000°C. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy observations showed that whiskers with a width of 10 nm were successfully synthesized by this method. The whiskers were confirmed to be β‐MoO3via lattice image analysis. Measurements of the temperature distribution in the tube furnace and comparisons with the Mo–O phase diagram led to the conclusion that the whiskers formed via a vapor–solid route. Prepared β‐MoO3whiskers were compared with α‐MoO3powder via the X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization method. By elucidating the β‐MoO3whisker synthesis mechanism, this research provides guidance for the large‐scale production of β‐MoO3whiskers.
