Enhanced photoelectrochemical activities for water oxidation and phenol degradation on WO3 nanoplates by transferring electrons and trapping holes

Abstract It is highly desired to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of nanosized WO3 by artificially modulating the photogenerated electrons and holes simultaneously. Herein, WO3 nanoplates have been successfully prepared by a simple one-pot two-phase separated hydrolysis-solvotherma...
