A controlled method for the production of tungsten oxide nanobelts through metal oxidation in presence of ethanol is proposed. At the optimal synthesis conditions, up to 20 μm long vertically aligned ribbon-like structures with a narrow rectangular cross section can be obtained in a tuned manner wit...
