A WO3−x/TiO2−x nanotube array (NTA) heterojunction photoanode was strategically designed to improve photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) performance by establishing a synergistic vacancy-induced self-doping effect and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of metalloid non-stoichiometric tungsten suboxide. The WO3−x/TiO2−x NTA heterojunction photoanode was synthesized through a successive process of anodic oxidation to form TiO2 nanotube arrays, magnetron sputtering to deposit metalloid WO3−x, and post-hydrogen reduction to engender oxygen vacancy in TiO2−x as well as crystallization. On the merits of such a synergistic effect, WO3−x/TiO2−x shows higher light-harvesting ability, stronger photocurrent response, and resultant improved photoelectrocatalytic performance than the contrast of WO3−x/TiO2, WO3/TiO2 and TiO2, confirming the importance of oxygen vacancies in improving PEC performance. Theoretical calculation based on density functional theory was applied to investigate the electronic structural features of samples and reveal how the oxygen vacancy determines the optical property. The carrier density tuning mechanism and charge transfer model were considered to be associated with the synergistic effect of self-doping and metalloid LSPR effect in the WO3−x/TiO2−x NTA.

Recently, photoassisted charging has been demonstrated as a green and sustainable approach to successfully enhance the capacitance of supercapacitors with low cost and good efficiency. However, their light-induced capacitance enhancement is relatively low and is lost quickly when the illumination is off. In this work, a novel active material system is developed for supercapacitors with the photoassisted charging capability by the decoration of a small amount of Bi2WO6 nanoparticles on an h-WO3 submicron rod surface in situ, which forms a typical type II band alignment heterostructure with a close contact interface through the co-sharing of W atoms between h-WO3 submicron rods and Bi2WO6 nanoparticles. The photogenerated charge carrier separation and transfer are largely enhanced in the h-WO3/Bi2WO6 submicron rod electrode, which subsequently allows more charge carriers to participate in its photoassisted charging process to largely enhance its capacitance improvement under simulated solar illumination than that of the h-WO3 submicron rod electrode. Furthermore, the h-WO3/Bi2WO6 submicron rod electrode could retain its photoinduced capacitance enhancement in the dark for an extended period of time from the photocatalytic memory effect. Thus, our work provides a solution to the two major drawbacks of reported supercapacitors with the light-induced capacitance enhancement property, and supercapacitors based on active materials with the photocatalytic memory effect could be utilized in various technical fields.

We first report a composite of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanoflake arrays (MNFs) and tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) nanorod arrays (WNRs) directly grown on a copper (Cu) substrate. This composite is characterized in detail by scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM/TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All of the evidences indicate that the obtained composite is a heterojunction. The supercapacitive properties of MNFs-WNRs composite heterojunction are measured systematically by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The heterojunction exhibits a high specific capacitance of 522 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 , a high capacitance retention (95%) after 5000 cycles and a low charge transfer resistance (1.0 Ω). And this kind of heterojunction has advantages of both MoS 2 and WO 3 , which can be a better candidate for supercapacitive electrode material .

The development of non-toxic and flexible polymer-based shielding composites has become a research hotspot due to the severe harm of γ ray to living organisms, mechanical equipment, and environment. However, the γ-ray shielding performance of polymer-based composites in high-energy range remains unsatisfactory. Herein, FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations capable of visualizing γ-photon transport behaviors are investigated in Bi 2 O 3 /PP and WO 3 /PP multi-layer composites with various layered configurations. The simulation results reveal significant anisotropic attenuation effects on shielding characteristics caused by layered configurations and incident path of γ-photons relative to the interface position. Subsequently, single-layer, AB, and sandwich-like ABA composites with a fixed thickness of 2.0 mm are experimentally fabricated via melt-mixing and hot press methods. At 1332 keV, sandwich-like WPPBPPWPP composite (WO 3 /PP outer layers + Bi 2 O 3 /PP core) achieves linear attenuation coefficients and radiation protection efficiency of 0.31 cm −1 and 6 %, respectively, which are 29 % higher than those of single-layer composite. These improvements originate from multiple scattering induced by interlayer interface. Additionally, layered configurations with externally placed high-density fillers (WO 3 ) and internally placed high atomic number fillers (Bi 2 O 3 ) further promote γ-photon attenuation in high-energy range. Experimental results validate the anisotropic shielding trends observed in MC simulations. Moreover, multi-layer composites demonstrate significantly improved energy storage capacity, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance while maintaining comparable to those of single-layer composites. This work provides a scalable strategy for developing non-toxic and flexible shielding materials applicable in nuclear protection, medical devices, and aerospace systems, where lightweight and efficient radiation attenuation are critical.

As a mainstream moderate-high temperature (250–420 °C) particulate denitrification catalyst, V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 (VWT) is not applicable to low-temperature (60–150 °C) iron ore sintering flue gas after semi dry/wet desulfurization. In order to improve the NH 3 -deNO x performance of the VWT particle catalyst at low temperatures, a series of powder VWT denitrification catalysts doped with different content of RuO 2 (R-VWT) prepared by the wet co-impregnation method were researched, and found that the particulate catalyst service temperature (about 100 % NO conversion) is lowered from 225 °C (VWT) to below 175 °C by doping 0.5 % RuO 2 . In addition, a series of characterizations indicate that the doped RuO 2 enhances the redox performance of R-VWT and promotes the generation of more surface active intermediate monodentate nitrate, and accelerates the low-temperature surface SCR transient reaction rate.

Pollution of water by synthetic dyes is of great concern because of the large production and usage of dyestuffs throughout the world. For dye elimination purpose, the p-n heterojunction Sb-doped MW- x composite catalysts prepared with different Mo:W precursor molar contents were synthesized via one-pot hydrothermal method. The selection in metal precursors is intended to design a composite catalyst with multiple valency in each phase. The structural, morphological, electrochemical property, and optical band gap of the composite catalyst were studied. The catalytic performance of Sb-MW composite catalysts was studied for the degradation of MB without light irradiation. It was observed that Sb-MW-4 showed superior catalytic performance to completely degrade 20 ppm MB dye solution with 20 mg catalyst in 14 min under dark condition. The composite catalyst was composed of n-(Mo,W)(O,S) 2 oxysulfide in a disordered MoS 2 framework and p-(W,Mo)(S,O) 3 sulfo-oxide in a WO 3 structure or was abbreviatedly named as n-MoS 2 /p-WO 3 based catalyst. The degradation reaction for MB dye had an apparent rate constant of 3.5 × 10 −1 min −1 . This catalyst also showed excellent stability and reusability for degrading MB dye pollutant. The degradation mechanism under dark condition is proposed.

The exploration of new strategies for portable detection of mercury ions with high sensitivity and selectivity is of great value for biochemical and environmental analyses. Herein, a straightforward, convenient, label-free, and portable sensing platform based on a Au nanoparticle (NP)-decorated WO3 hollow nanoflower was constructed for the sensitive and selective detection of Hg(II) with a pressure, temperature, and colorimetric triple-signal readout. The resulting Au/WO3 hollow nanoflowers (Au/WO3 HNFs) could efficaciously impede the aggregation of Au NPs, thus significantly improving their catalytic activity and stability. The sensing mechanism of this new strategy using pressure as a signal readout was based on the mercury-triggered catalase mimetic activity of Au/WO3 HNFs. In the presence of the model analyte Hg(II), H2O2 in the detection system was decomposed to O2 fleetly, resulting in a detectable pressure signal. Accordingly, the quantification of Hg(II) was facilely realized based on the pressure changes, and the detection limit could reach as low as 0.224 nM. In addition, colorimetric and photothermal detection of Hg(II) using the Au/WO3 HNFs based on their mercury-stimulated peroxidase mimetic activity was also investigated, and the detection limits were calculated to be 78 nM and 0.22 μM for colorimetric and photothermal methods, respectively. Hence, this nanosensor can even achieve multimode determination of Hg(II) with the concept of point-of-care testing (POCT). Furthermore, the proposed multimode sensing platform also displayed satisfactory sensing performance for the Hg(II) assay in actual water samples. This promising strategy may provide novel insights on the fabrication of a multimode POCT platform for sensitive, selective, and accurate detection of heavy metal ions.

The artificial-photosynthetic semiconductor composites have attracted tremendous attention with respect to their enhanced photocatalytic properties. Herein, we reported the facile synthesis of Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/WO 3 ·H 2 O S-scheme photocatalyst via one-pot in situ hydrothermal strategy. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation was employed to reveal the S-scheme photogenerated electron transfer mechanism, and the subsequent experimental characterization further illustrated the path for electron-hole transfer and separation under the effect of S-scheme heterojunction. The mass of WO 3 ·H 2 O accounted for Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/WO 3 ·H 2 O 48 wt% (ZCSW48) was the best high-efficiency S-scheme photocatalyst displayed significant photocatalytic properties on pollution degradation, in detail, with the Cr (VI) photoreduction rate of 2.27 μmol·s −1 ·g −1 cat. and the Rhodamine B (RhB) photooxidation rate of 0.38 μmol·min −1 ·g −1 cat. , respectively. The designed Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/WO 3 ·H 2 O photocatalysts have integrated with the three aspects of photocatalytic efficiencies including the visible light response, prolonged photogenerated carrier lifetime and the sufficient surface active sites due to amount of surface defects , therefore, this work provides more insights into the utilization of green energy for environmental treatment by artificial structured semiconductors.

A novel photocatalyst WO 3 /BiMOF/Bi 2 WO 6 was prepared by self-assembly of benzene dicarboxylic acid ligand (H 2 BDC) anchoring Bi source on the surface of Bi 2 WO 6 to form BiMOF, in which WO 3 spherical particles were scattered uniformly. Thereby, an amount of metal and oxygen vacancies (V M + O ) are generated. The 3D flower-like spherical photocatalyst has a large specific surface area and close interfacial contacts, which can provide sufficient channels for carrier migration. The introduction of BiMOF enhanced the light absorption capability of photocatalyst. As a result, the flower-like WO 3 /BiMOF/Bi 2 WO 6 structure exhibits excellent nitrogen fixation as well as high-level photocatalytic activity in degrading Rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TC) under visible light. For one thing, WO 3 /BiMOF/Bi 2 WO 6 produce ammonia up to 227 μmol L −1 h −1 . For another, the degradation efficacy displayed by RhB 99.3% in 15 min and TC 93.6% degradation in 50 min, respectively. In addition, the catalysts showed excellent cyclic stability, with constant degradation efficiencies for at least 4 cycles. The experimental results of free radical scavenging showed that holes (h + ) and superoxide radical (·O 2− ) were the main active substances in the photodegradation process. Therefore, the photocatalytic mechanism of 3D flower-like WO 3 /BiMOF/Bi 2 WO 6 was also proposed.

Degradation of pollutants can be integrated with electricity generation in Photocatalytic fuel cell under light irradiation or self-powered fuel cell in the dark. In fuel cell driven by electrode reactions , the electrode reduction and oxidation transforms chemical energy in pollutants into electrical energy. In this work, Rhodamine B and coking wastewater were treated, using an efficient Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 0 (1%)/TiO 2 as an anodic catalyst and WO 3 as a cathodic catalyst. After 100 min of reaction in a single chamber fuel cell with 10 Ω of external resistance, in 0.05 M Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte, the paired stainless-steel electrodes loaded respectively with g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 0 (1%)/TiO 2 and WO 3 , degraded 98% Rhodamine B and generated 0.95 V cell voltage under 50 W visible-light irradiation, while removed 60% RhB and generated 0.5 V without light. To investigate the PFC performance of g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 0 (1%)/TiO 2 in treating real coking wastewater, at optimal pH 2, 91% chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 89% total organic carbon (TOC) were removed and generated 0.3 V cell voltage. The influence of pH on photocatalytic degradation performance and cell voltage are evaluated. The high cell voltage is attributed to the very low impedance of the g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 0 (1%)/TiO 2 loaded anode. The excellent electrochemical properties of paired electrodes help in generating higher current density , due to the increased photocatalyst activity of the tridimensional catalyst as proved by electron spinning resonance spectrum, photoluminescence , and Electric Impedance Spectrum analysis.

Abstract The hybrid TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles with different doping ratios of tungsten were synthesized from titanium tetra-isopropoxide and tungsten hexachloride (WCl 6 ) as precursors via a sol–gel process using poly( ε -caprolactone)- b -poly(acrylic acid) (PCL- b -PAA) diblock copolymer as a template. The morphology, crystal structure, chemical and physical property of the fabricated TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and so on. N 2 adsorption–desorption analysis revealed that the surface area (40.6 m 2 g −1 ), pore volume (0.11 cm 3 g −1 ) and average pore size (8.56 nm) of such TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles. The resulting hybrid TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles (average diameter: ca. 100–200 nm) with proper doping ratio of tungsten exhibited the enhanced photocatalytic activity than that of the commercial P25 in the degradation of methylene blue.

In analyzing the effect of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxide on the properties of tellurite glass , a series of tellurite glass samples doped with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals were prepared based on the TeO 2 -WO 3 -GdF 3 glass system by melt quenching method. Through tests and comprehensive analysis, the results show that after the F − ions successfully enter the glass network, the substitution of TeO 2 by alkali and alkaline earth metals could reduce the molar volume , which means the glass becomes more compacted. The influence on the glass network is mainly shown in [TeO 3 ] and [TeO 4 ] units. Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals could increase the asymmetry of the TWG: Eu 3+ glass network, shorten the critical distance, and increase luminescence intensity by 8.6 times and improve color purity to 94%. In addition, alkali metals could prolong the fluorescence lifetime , while alkaline earth metals could shorten it. Te 4+
