Arendse Received 28 July 2008 Accepted 3 September 2008 Published online 25 September 2008 to the authors 2008 Abstract Laser pyrolysis has been used to synthesize WO3 nanostructures. Spherical nano-particles were obtained when acetylene was used to carry the precursor droplet whereas thin films were obtained at high flow-rates of oxygen carrier gas. In both environments WO3 nanowires appear only after thermal annealing of the as-deposited powders and films. Samples produced under oxygen carrier gas in the laser pyrolysis system gave a higher yield of WO3 nano-wires after annealing than the samples which were run under acetylene carrier gas. Alongside the targeted nano-wires the acetylene-ran samples showed trace amounts of multi-walled carbon nano-tubes such carbon nano-tubes are not seen in the oxygen-processed WO3 nano-wires.
