The morphology, structure and optical absorption properties of the prepared samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR and UV-Vis-DRS. The WO<sub>3</sub> materials were corn rod-like morphology with about 800 nm for length and 150 nm for diameter, especially there were plenty of corn particles (about 20 nm) on the surface of corn rods. The X-ray diffraction peaks of the products corresponded with WO<sub>3</sub> standard card, and the characteristic peak of W-O bond was found in the infrared spectrum. The absorption band edge of the products was about 480 nm, indicating their potential visible-light-induced photocatalytic activity. In situ FTIR technology research showed that the prepared WO<sub>3</sub> nanomaterials had visible photocatalytic activity to gas-phase toluene. After a photocatalytic reaction for 8 hours toluene was effectively degraded, and carboxylic acid and aldehyde could be regarded as the intermediate products, and CO<sub>2</sub> was produced as the final product during the reaction process.展开更多

The morphology and the chemical composition of tungsten trioxide nanotube arrays were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The results show that the diameter of the tungsten trioxide nanotube arrays is about 165 nm and just equals to the diameter of pores of AAO template, which reveals that the diameter of the tungsten trioxide nanotube arrays is dependable on the size of the pores in the AAO template. The tungsten trioxide nanotubes are composed by tungsten trioxide nanoparticles formed by reaction (NH 4) 2WO 4550 ℃2NH 3↑+WO 3+H 2O↑ in the heating process.展开更多
