First-order branched tree structures of MoO 3 belts on sillimanite fibers (refractor wool) were grown by a vapor transport method. At longer growth times, MoO 3 micro-belts on micro-belts form a flower-like structure. Most belts are of α-MoO 3, and they grow in the two opposite directions along the c -axis. They show…
