WO3 Applied for Photocatalyst

WO3 is a visible-light responsive photocatalyst that absorbs light up to 480 nm with several advantages such as low cost, harmlessness, and stability in acidic and oxidative conditions. WO3-based photocatalysts have various applications such as photodegradation of organics, air purification, self-cleaning, CO2 photoreduction, heavy metal ion treatment, hydrogen evolution from splitting water, and bacterial disinfection.
