Abstract

We have developed a new synthesis method to prepare WO₃-Ag hybrid nanowires (WO₃-Ag NWs) for photocatalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (NB) to aniline. The catalyst was characterized by SEM, XRD, N₂ adsorption/desorption and Raman spectroscopy. Results showed that the WO₃-Ag hybrid nanowires displays a porous network structure with high specific surface area. The synergy of Ag NWs and WO₃ NWs plays the most vital role in this enhanced photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the synthesized WO₃-Ag NWs also exhibited excellent reusability.
