BaWO₄ nanorods have been successfully synthesized in w/o microemulsion system containing barium ions via a simple reaction between Ba²⁺ and . The BaWO₄ Nanorods were characterized by XRD, TEM, and SEM, respectively. Results showed that the solvents composition—volume ratio of 4-dioxane and distilled water—played the key role in the formation of BaWO₄ Nanorods. Furthermore, the strong vibration at 925 cm^﹣1 on its Raman spectrum indicated that the BaWO4 nanorods is good at stimulating Raman scattering in transient and steady-state, making it as a promising candidate material for laser with self-raman conversion of radiation inside the active medium.
