Form follows mechanism: The nanoscale morphology of W/Mo oxides can be controlled through alkali chlorides as inorganic additives that shape the particles in a versatile and efficient manner. The mechanistic pathways leading to the different morphologies are investigated by in situ energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (see picture), and reveal new insights into hydrothermal reactions.
