Facile synthesis of a WO _x /Cs _y WO₃ heterostructured composite as a visible light photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a WO _x /Cs _y WO₃ heterostructured composite was synthesized via a simple pyrolysis method followed by heat treatment under a reducing atmosphere. Optical absorption results revealed the WO _x /Cs _y WO₃ heterostructured composite exhibits a strong absorption tail in the Vis and NIR regions which could have important implications for its photoactivity. The photocatalytic performance of synthesized samples with different Cs/W molar ratios was evaluated by the photodegradation of RhB in aqueous solution under simulated solar light irradiation. The results revealed that the photocatalytic activity of the WO _x /Cs _y WO₃ composite is much
