An overview on WO3 based photocatalyst for environmental remediation
Abstract
Abstract Environmental pollution and global energy demand require advanced photocatalytic materials such as visible-light-driven semiconductor photocatalysts. In particular, Tungsten oxide (WO3) appears promising candidate because of high absorption of visible light (up to 480 nm), its tunable bandgap, and outstanding optical properties. Fascinatingly, WO3 also hold advantages like nontoxic nature, economic cost, and stability in oxidative and acidic conditions. It is well-known that various synthetic procedures can be utilized for fabrication of a photocatalyst with different morphologies, sizes and structures which are dynamic on its catalytic performance to distinctive degrees. This review comprises several synthesis ways which are low-cost and environmentally friendly and detail analysis of the relationship between morphology control and photocatalytic performance of WO3. Additionally, some top strategies for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of semiconductor WO3, like as elemental doping, hybridization with co-catalyst, heterojunction formation etc. are also summarized. Moreover, photocatalytic enhancement aspects and photocatalytic mechanisms of WO3/semiconductor photocatalyst were elaborated. Lastly, the conclusion and main future prospects of WO3-based semiconductor photocatalysts were deliberated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
