Magnesium oxide (MgO) nanowires were synthesized by solvothermal method using magnesium nitrate hexahydrate and sodium hydroxide. Field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE- SEM) and transmission scanning electron microscopy (TEM) measurements indicate that the product consists of a large quantity of nanowires with average diameter of 20 nm and average length of several micrometers. Explorations of X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis ... Read more
