Abstract

Abstract Graphene oxide (GO), tungsten trioxide (WO3) and graphene–WO3 nanobelt composites (GW) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), UV–vis diffuse reflection spectra (DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) valence band spectra. We demonstrated that the graphene can elevate the conduction band of WO3 toward photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into hydrocarbon fuels under visible-light irradiation. And the photocatalytic activity of GW is higher than that of GO, WO3 and P25 TiO2.
