Abstract
The morphology, composition, and size of WO3 nanoparticles were studied by using a scanning electron microscopy instrument (F200i(S)), an XPD-6100 X-ray diffractometer, and a NanoSight LM10 system before and after its immersion in an aqueous medium. The nanofluid was obtained by slowly and continuously stirring the water at a constant speed. The WO3 nanoparticles were well dispersed in the aqueous medium and exhibited a relatively uniform size distribution. The results showed an average particle size of 176.1 ± 5.3 nm.
