Uniform α-MoO3 nanorods are synthesized with controlled aspect ratios through a fast hydrothermal route. The control over the aspect ratio of these as-prepared nanorods is realized by applying different reaction times of 2−20 h. Specifically, the nanorods prepared with a reaction time of 2 h are, on...
