Metastable hexagonal h-MoO(3) nanorods were synthesized by a simple sonochemical method, and then were transformed into thermodynamically stable a-MoO(3) microbelts by calcination. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the as-prepared h-MoO(3) nanorods were of 0.2-1.2 ?m in width and 1-6 ?m in length. A possible formation and growth mechanism of hexagonal MoO(3) nanorods is proposed, in which ultrasound plays a crucial role and cannot be ignored. Moreover, the effect of temperature on the transformation process by calcination is investigated and a possible growth process of microbelts is also discussed.
