Preparation of nano-structured crystalline tungsten(vi) oxide and enhanced photocatalytic activity for decomposition of organic compounds under visible light irradiation.

چکیده
Nano-structured crystalline tungsten(vi) oxides (WO(3)) were prepared using a colloidal crystal template method; these materials have increased specific surface area compared to crystalline WO(3) prepared without the template, and after platinum loading they show enhanced photocatalytic activity for acetic acid decomposition under visible light.

In the present investigation, a ZnO nanostructure was synthesized by means of precipitation and sonochemical methods. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicated that the wurtzite structure of ZnO had a hexagonal symmetry and there was no impurity. The average ZnO particles crystallite size was calculated at about 41 nm. The SEM and TEM images revealed nanostructure ZnO particles with a cauli...
