Ordered mesoporous WO3/ZnO nanocomposites with isotype heterojunctions for sensitive detection of NO2
摘要： Ordered mesoporous WO3 nanocrystals have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method using mesoporous silica of KIT-6 as a template and phosphotungstic acid as a precursor of WO3. The structure, morphology, and specific surface of WO3 nanocrystals were systematically characterized by XRD, SAXS, HR-TEM, and BET. To improve the sensing properties of WO3 to NO2, a series of different ZnO amounts were loaded on the mesoporous WO3 to construct nanocomposites with n–n heterojunction for the fabrication of NO2 sensors. The gas-sensing behaviors show that the sensor based on WO3/5 wt% ZnO composite to 1 ppm of NO2 not only exhibits the high response, but also has good selectivity and stability at operating temperature of 150 oC, which can be contributed to the large specific surface and porous channels provided by mesoporous structures, and the formation of n–n heterojunctions at interface between both oxides.

Two-dimensional amorphous heterostructures of Ag/a-WO3- for high-efficiency photocatalytic performance
摘要： Synergistic photocatalysis is an important concept for designing the high-efficiency catalysis for fundamental research and technical applications. In this study a well-defined synergistic photocatalysis system is realized by the 2D amorphous heterostructures (2DAHs) Ag/a-WO3-x, which are constructed by Ag nanoparticles on 2D amorphous tungsten oxide (a-WO3-x) fabricated via supercritical CO2 method. We demonstrate theoretically that the oxygen evolution reactions (OER), characterized by photocurrent response, have been dramatically improved in Ag/a-WO3-x than those of both single a-WO3-x and Ag/WO3 systems. Such an enhanced photoelectrochemical performance attributes to the superposition effect of amorphous effect catalysis and local surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) catalysis. More interestingly, the ab initio density-functional theory calculations reveal that the amorphous effect catalysis ascribes to the unique d-d tail states coupling of both Ag and W atoms in the 2DAHs. Overall, our findings not only propose the prototype of synergistic photocatalysis, but also provide a new methodology to the design of novel catalyst.

NO2 and H2 sensing properties for urchin-like hexagonal WO3 based on experimental and first-principle investigations
摘要： An intricate sea-urchin-like hexagonal WO3 nanostructure was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal approach. Sensing properties of the as-fabricated sensor exhibited surpassing response and selectivity for NO2 in comparison of H2 after corroborating the composition, phase-purity and surface morphology using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Formation of the urchin-like structure was ascribed to the capping effects of potassium sulfate that prompts the anisotropic growth of WO3, leading to hierarchical complex with a large surface-volume ratio. In particular, first-principle calculation had provided a new perspective for us to delve into the sensing process of H2 and NO2 from an atomic level. It was found that the sensing properties mainly arose from the tuning of electronic structure and electrons transfer between the adsorbed gas and the sensitized surface along with the charge relocation between them. Finally, a plausible mechanism was proposed as theoretical guidance for achieving high-performance sensors experimentally and supposedly.

Porous WO3 monolith-based photoanodes for high-efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting
摘要： We report a successful fabrication of low-cost, high-efficient, structurally-rigid, porous WO3 photoelectrochemical (PEC) catalysts using polystyrene as the template by a sol-gel method and a high-temperature annealing treatment. The scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface analysis results indicate that such WO3 monoliths possess a porous structure and a large specific surface area, which can supply lots of photogenerated charge transfer pathways as well as more surface PEC active sites. Compared with a commercially available WO3, our highly porous WO3 PEC catalysts show an excellent PEC water splitting activity. Particularly, the porous WO3 photoanodes calcinated in the presence of oxygen atmosphere at 450 °C for 7 h show the best PEC performance exhibiting the photocurrent density of 0.97 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V versus reversible the hydrogen electrode and the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency up to 48.9% at 420 nm in 0.5 M Na2SO4 electrolyte under AM 1.5 G irradiation. Such excellent PEC performance is due to the high porosity of the WO3, promoting the fast transfer and the separation rate of photogenerated carriers during the PEC water splitting process.

ZnIn2S4 nanosheets decorating WO3 nanorods core-shell hybrids for boosting visible-light photocatalysis hydrogen generation
摘要： We here report the fabrication of a core-shell WO3@ZnIn2S4 heterostructure by an interfacial seeding growth strategy, which is implemented by direct growth of ZnIn2S4 nanosheets on the surface of WO3 nanorods with forming a strong electronic interaction between two semiconductors that are beneficial for promoting the interfacial charge transfer. Systematic studies demonstrate that the WO3@ZnIn2S4 nanohybrids hold superior performance for photocatalytic hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation with a production rate of 3900 mmol g-1 h-1. This work provides an effective approach to construct the direct Z-scheme photocatalytic systems for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, which would be significant for the design of more direct Z-scheme system for various photocatalytic applications.

Sub-ppm level NO2 sensing properties of polyethyleneimine-mediated WO3 nanoparticles synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method
摘要： A novel sensing material of polyethyleneimine-mediated WO3 nanoparticles was prepared by a simple and efficient one-pot hydrothermal method. The structure and morphology characteristics of the as-prepared WO3 nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the as-prepared WO3 nanomaterials were composed of highly dispersible WO3 nanoparticles, and these nanoparticles with the particle size in the range of 10e50 nm showed a monoclinic structure. NO2 sensing measurements demonstrated that WO3 nanoparticles-based gas sensor exhibited superior response, outstanding selectivity, excellent reversibility, and good long-term stability. The sensor response increased as NO2 concentration increased. The highest response value of 251.7 was achieved to 5 ppm NO2 at the optimal operating temperature of 100 (cid:1)C. Especially, the sensor response could reach 3.2e50 ppb NO2. It also exhibited fast response and recovery times with a high sensor response even in a high-humidity environment. The excellent gas sensing properties of WO3 nanoparticles could be ascribed to their high effective surface areas as well as numerous oxygen vacancies, which foresee the great potential application for fast and effective detection of sub-ppm level NO2 under different humidity environments.

2D ultra-thin WO3 nanosheets with dominant {002} crystal facets for high-performance xylene sensing and methyl orange photocatalytic degradation
摘要： Here we report the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) ultra-thin WO3 nanosheets (~4.9 nm) with dominant {002} crystal facets through a facile surfactant-induced self-assembly method. It was found that the ultra-thin WO3 nanosheets showed remarkably enhanced xylene sensing performance and methyl orange photocatalytic degradation performance, which could be ascribed to the high percentage of reactive {002} crystal facets (>90%) and high specific surface area (121 m2/g). The mechanism of gas sensing and photocatalysis was systematically studied. This work will be intriguing for designing high-performance metal oxides-based gas sensing and photocatalytic materials through 2D structural modulation and crystal facets engineering, which is important to promote their practical applications in environmental issues.

Influence of Synthesis Conditions on Microstructure and NO2 Sensing Properties of WO3 Porous Films Synthesized by Non-Hydrolytic Sol–Gel Method
摘要： Nanostructured tungsten trioxide porous films were prepared by a non-hydrolytic sol–gel method following the inorganic route in which ethanol and PEG were used as the oxygen-donor and structure-directing reagent, respectively. The effects of aging time of the precursor solution, PEG content, and calcination temperature on the structure, morphology, and NO2 sensing properties of WO3 films were systematically investigated by using the techniques of X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and gas sensing measurements. The results demonstrated that a series of WO3 films with different microstructures could be obtained by manipulating the synthesis parameters. Furthermore, a suitable synthesis condition of WO3 films for NO2 sensing application was determined.

Synergistic Effect Between WO3/Activated Carbon and BiVO4 Nanoparticles for Improved Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution
摘要： Modified composite of the pure monoclinic tungstun oxide with 2.0% of activated carbon photocatalyst with BiVO4 as coupling content is synthezed via facile hydrothermal route. The composite is fabricated with coupling ratio of 0.5%,1.0%,1.5% and 2.0% dopant BiVO4. These composite were characterized by the XRD, SEM, UV–Vis, PL and BET to investigate the various properties (particle size, structural, morphological, purity and optical) and the energy band of the photocatalytic material. It is commonly examined that the C-WO3 showed the extraneous results for the evolution of the hydrogen energy by increasing the coupling contents upto 1.5% of BiVO4 and gave extraordinary photocatalytic activity towards the hydrogen energy production. The formation of the orthorhombic phases from the monoclinic and hexagonal at 2.0% of doping content indicated the increase of size of the particles and energy band gap. The average grain size of the composite is ranging from 30 to 50 nm. The increment of the BiVO4 content in the C-WO3 composite causes the reduction of photocatalytic activity because of the increase in the grain size and the forbidden gap of the photocatalytic composite.

Morphology Controllable Synthesis of Hierarchical WO3 Nanostructures and C2H2 Sensing Properties
摘要： In this paper, we reported the morphology controllable synthesis of hierarchical WO3 nanostructures, i.e. nanorods, nanospheres and nanoflowers, via a facile hydrothermal route. All the obtained WO3 nanostructures were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), respectively. A possible growth mechanism for the three various nanomaterials was proposed in detail. WO3 based gas sensors were fabricated with the synthesized nanomaterials and the gas sensing performances to acetylene (C2H2), one of the fault characteristic gases dissolved in power transformer oil, were systematically measured. It was found that the sensor based on nanosheet-assembled nanoflowers with largest surface (56.74 m2g-1) exhibits the highest sensing performance including gas response (32.31) and response-recovery time (12 s, 17 s) to 200 ppm C2H2. The results indicate that WO3 sensing materials could be a promising choice for synthesizing high-performance C2H2 sensors for the judgement of the early latent faults of the oil immersed transformer.
