Excellent and Stable WO3 Based Photocatalyst From Ammonium Paratungstate for Degradation of Orange G Dye

Schematic diagram of  the WO3-g-C3N4 system
Tungsten oxide (WO3) is an exceptional semiconductor that exhibits absorption within the visible region of the solar spectrum, and it is completely feasible to use it in different applications. Several studies have reported its use in the photocatalytic degradation of organic matter such as methylene blue, rhodamine B, methyl orange, etc. However, the photocatalytic behavior of WO3 is limited because the edge of its conduction band is below of the position for the single-electron reduction of O2.
