Abstract
A biomorphic α‐MoO 3 ceramic was successfully derived from paper templates. By the infiltration of a Mo‐contained solution into paper templates, followed by calcinations at 500°C in air, the cellulose fibers of paper were converted into branches composing of orthorhombic α‐MoO 3 crystals with grain size ranging from 0.5 to 2 μm. In the final product, the initial fibrous structure of the paper templates was retained. This simple biotemplate method provides a cost‐effective and ecofriendly route to obtain advanced self‐assembling biomorphic ceramics.
