Abstract
Crystalline tungsten oxide (WO3) nanorods with diameters of approximately 8 nm were prepared using SBA-15 mesoporous silica as a hard template and ammonium metatungstate as a tungsten source, which have larger surface area (ca. 90m2 g11) than other WO3 materials and, therefore, exhibit superior photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of acetic acid under visible light irradiation after Pt loading.
