Abstract

Tungsten(VI) oxide loaded with nanoparticulate platinum (Pt/WO 3 ) was demonstrated for the first time to exhibit photocatalytic activity for direct synthesis of phenol from benzene using water and molecular oxygen as reactants under ultraviolet or visible light irradiation; the selectivity for phenol (e.g., 74% at 69% of benzene conversion) on Pt/WO 3 photocatalysts was much higher than those on platinum-loaded titanium(IV) oxide (Pt/TiO 2 ) photocatalysts.
