Abstract
Fe2WO6 nanocrystal with an average size of ~300nm was prepared by solid-state reaction between Fe2O3 and WO3 at 950°C. The coupled structure of Fe2WO6/TiO2 was then fabricated by covering the Fe2WO6 surface with polycrystalline TiO2 by sol–gel process. Under visible-light irradiation, the Fe2WO6/TiO2 exhibits remarkable photocatalytic activity in decomposing gaseous 2-propanol and aqueous salicylic acid which is comparable to that of typical nitrogen-doped TiO2. It is deduced that its high catalytic activity originates from the hole-transfer from Fe2WO6 to TiO2. Evidences for the hole-transport were provided by monitoring the hole-scavenging reactions, employing iodide (I−) and 1,4-terephthalic acid (TA), respectively.
