Optimal construction of WO3·H2O/Pd/CdS ternary Z-scheme photocatalyst with remarkably enhanced performance for oxidative coupling of benzylamines

Oxygen-Deficient Nanofiber WO3–x/WO3 Homojunction Photoanodes Synthesized via a Novel Metal Self-Reducing Method

“…The crystalline interplanar spacing of 0.384 nm is indexed to the (002) plane of the monoclinic WO 3 . The uniformed lattice of fast Fourier transform (FFT, inset in Figure c) at the interface manifests that the WO 3– x nanofiber and WO 3 plate are intimately combined. , In addition, the WO 3– x nanofiber possesses an amorphous shell layer of ∼1 nm in thickness. As seen from the HRTEM images (Figure d), the lattice fringes of WO 3– x nanofibers have partial folds and defects caused by the oxygen vacancies and other physical defects .…”

Functions of Phytic Acid in Fabricating Metal‐Free Carbocatalyst for Oxidative Coupling of Benzylamines†

“…In recent years, efforts have been made to obtain imines by the oxidative coupling of benzylamines, which is a comparably efficient, and green strategy to synthesize imines. [ 4 ] In the early reports, oxidative coupling of benzylamines usually involves transition metal catalysts such as Cu, [ 5 ] Pd [ 6 ] and Au, [ 7 ] accompanying with toxic and corrosive oxidation reagents such as chromates. Thus, it is reasonable and significant to develop green and sustainable catalytic systems to achieve this oxidative coupling reaction under the urgent demand to follow the principles of green chemistry.…”

Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride by Ag/AgI/WO3·H2O composites

“…[15][16][17][18] However, single WO 3 ÁH 2 O photocatalyst often suffers from rapid electron-hole recombination, thereby limiting its photocatalytic performance and restricting its practical application. 19 Currently, some composite photocatalysts have been developed to enhance the photocatalytic performance of WO 3 ÁH 2 O, such as WO 3 ÁH 2 O/Pd/CdS, 19 TiO 2 /WO 3 ÁH 2 O, 20 AgBr/ H 2 WO 4 , 21 and WO 3 ÁH 2 O/g-C 3 N 4 . 22 Nevertheless, exploring the excellent visible light-driven WO 3 ÁH 2 O-based heterojunctions is still necessary and challenging.…”

“…Orthorhombic tungsten trioxide monohydrate (WO 3 ·H 2 O) has been used as a photocatalyst due to its narrow band gap, facile preparation technique, and sufficiently positive valence band (VB) with potentially highly oxidizing 15–18 . However, single WO 3 ·H 2 O photocatalyst often suffers from rapid electron–hole recombination, thereby limiting its photocatalytic performance and restricting its practical application 19 . Currently, some composite photocatalysts have been developed to enhance the photocatalytic performance of WO 3 ·H 2 O, such as WO 3 ·H 2 O/Pd/CdS, 19 TiO 2 /WO 3 ·H 2 O, 20 AgBr/H 2 WO 4 , 21 and WO 3 ·H 2 O/g‐C 3 N 4 22 .…”
