“…In another approach, several authors have proposed alternative oxides than traditional TiO 2 with high photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation such as Bi 2 WO 6 [9], BiVO 4 [10], Bi 2 MoO 6 [11], and CaIn 2 O 4 [12] among others. WO 3 oxide is an n-type semiconductor with potential applications as catalyst [13], gas sensor (NH 3 , NO 2 , H 2 S) [14,15] and as active material in electrochromic windows [16,17]. Due to the wide range of applications, nanoparticles of WO 3 have been synthesized by various experimental techniques such as pyrolysis [18], thermal decomposition [19], sol-gel [20], colloidal process [21] and ion-exchange methods [22].…”
