title: A Bi2 WO6 -based hybrid photocatalyst with broad spectrum photocatalytic properties under UV, visible, and near-infrared irradiation.
abstract: Near-infrared active photocatalytic properties of Bi2 WO6 nanosheets owing to the oxygen vacancies of the Bi2 WO6 nanosheets are reported. The broad spectrum photocatalyst, Bi2 WO6 -TiO2 nanobelt heterostructures, are obtained by assembling Bi2 WO6 nanocrystals on TiO2 nanobelts. The active light band of the novel hybrid photocatalyst with high photocatalytic activity covers full-spectrum solar light including the UV, visible, and near-infrared ranges.
