According to the principle of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), a large number of WO3 nanowires having a flat surface and a thickness of 60nm were obtained by a simple one-step method. We characterized the material properties and photoconductivity of WO3 nanowires by AFM, TEM, Raman spectra and found it has a good photoresponse to the illumination of 405nm light.
