title: Enhanced photocatalytic activity of quantum-confined tungsten trioxide nanoparticles in mesoporous silica.
abstract: Due to quantum confinement effects, tungsten trioxide nanoparticles approximately 1.4 nm in diameter prepared in channels of mesoporous silica exhibited a widened bandgap and enhanced photocatalytic performance in the decomposition of benzene.
