title: Tuning of photocatalytic reduction by conduction band engineering of semiconductor quantum dots with experimental evaluation of the band edge potential.
abstract: The conduction band edge (CBE) of WO3 quantum dots (QDs) was determined experimentally and engineered by size control to around one nanometer. Photocatalytic reactions of proton and molecular oxygen were tuned by changing the CBE of WO3-QDs.
