Enhanced Photoanodic Activity and Outermost Surface Crystallinity of Tungsten Oxide via High-temperature Sintering
Tungsten oxide (WO3) is a promising photoanode material capable of water oxidation under visible-light irradiation. Although WO3 is usually prepared via sintering at 500 °C–550˚C, this work shows that high-temper...
