"Facilely Anchoring Cu nanoparticles on WO3 Nanocubes for Enhanced Phot" by Jinyan Xiong, Qiang Luo et al.
Abstract Non-noble metal decoration is a promising strategy for promoting semiconductor photocatalysis by effectively enhancing charge separation. Cube-like WO -Cu hybrid was successfully synthesized by a facile ascorbic acid reduction method at room temperature. The composition and morphology characterization showed that the Cu particle was deposited on the surface of WO nanocube. The WO -Cu-1.0 hybrid (when 1.0 mmol CuSO ∙5H O was involved into the reaction system) exhibited promoted photocatalytic capability towards Congo Red photodegradation under simulated sun light irradiation. The t...
