Abstract

BaWO 4 crystals with different morphology, such as olive-like, flake-like, and whisker-like structure have been successfully prepared through a hydrothermal process in the presence of different surfactants - C 17H 33COOK, C 19H 39COOK, and C 25H 51COOK, respectively. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) shows that the crystals have been well crystallized. The observation results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on the obtained samples have revealed that the selection of surfactants and the concentration of the starting materials can highly affect the morphology and size of BaWO 4 crystals.
