The Facile Hydrothermal Preparation of WO₃ and its Photocatalytic Performance under Visible-Light Irradiation

Abstract:

The orthorhombic WO₃ nanoplates were fabricated via a hydrothermal process, using HBF₄ as the acid source. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), respectively. The WO₃nanoplates exhibited nice UV-light driven photocatalytic performance in the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB).
