Photocatalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline over tungsten oxide-silver nanowires

摘要

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.
