Abstract EN
The degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye by tungsten oxide (WO3) photocatalyst synthesized by the 200°C conventional-hydrothermal (C-H) and 270 W microwave-hydrothermal (M-H) methods and commercial WO3 was studied under UV light irradiation for 360 min.
The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectrophotometry, and UV visible spectroscopy to determine phase, morphology, vibration mode, and optical property.
The BET analysis revealed the specific surface area of 29.74, 37.25, and 33.56 m2/g for the C-H WO3 nanoplates, M-H WO3 nanoplates, and commercial WO3 nanorods, respectively.
In this research, the M-H WO3 nanoplates have the highest photocatalytic efficiency of 90.07% within 360 min, comparing to the C-H WO3 nanoplates and even commercial WO3 nanorods.
