Preparation of nano-structured crystalline tungsten(vi) oxide and enhanced photocatalytic activity for decomposition of organic compounds under visible light irradiation

Abstract

Nano-structured crystalline tungsten(VI) oxides (WO3) were prepared using a colloidal crystal template method; these materials have increased specific surface area compared to crystalline WO3 prepared without the template, and after platinum loading they show enhanced photocatalytic activity for acetic acid decomposition under visible light.
