Implication

Evaluates the photocatalytic activity of a WO3/TiO2 heterojunction, suggesting its synergetic potential.

Abstract

The tungsten trioxide/titanium dioxide (WO3/TiO2) heterojunction is archetypical in photocatalysis, with demonstrated synergetic properties despite some controversy around the predominant band model in these systems. The current work is a...
