Abstract: Colloidal molybdenum trioxide(MoO3) nanobelts aqueous sols with high photoluminescence performance were successfully synthesized at low temperature (100℃) without assistance of any organics and templates. X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM),Fluorescence spectrameter and Fluorescence Microscope were used to characterize the structures and the properties of the as-prepared MoO3 sols. The results revealed that the MoO3 aqueous sol prepared is composed of a large number of colloidal MoO3 nanobelts. The length of the nanobelts is about 100 μm, while the width is about 50-100 nm and the thickness is less than 10 nm. Large area free-standing MoO3 nanobelts film with good toughness were obtained when the colloidal sols was dried.Its fluorescence properties were characterized by Fluorescence Microscope. The as-prepared MoO3 nanobelts sols and free-standing MoO3 nanobelts film both display high photoluminescence performance, which indicates their potential uses in fluorescence imaging, sensing and LED.
