Uniform single-crystalline tungsten oxide (WO3) nanosheets have been synthesized in a large-scale with W powders as starting material. The results from the thermal stability measurements show that the as-synthesized WO3 nanosheets are anhydrous. Their thickness and length are ∼80 and ∼500 nm, respec...
