title: Efficient visible light-induced degradation of rhodamine B by W(NxS1-x)2nanoflowers.
abstract: Here, W(NxS1-x)2nanoflowers were fabricated by simple sintering process. Photocatalytic activity results indicated our fabricated N-doped WS2nanoflowers shown outstanding photoactivity of degradating of rhodamine B with visible light. Which is attributed to the high separation efficiency of photoinduced electron-hole pairs, the broadening of the valence band (VB), and the narrowing of energy band gap. Meanwhile, our work provided a novel method to induce surface sulfur vacancies in crystals by introduing impurities atoms for enhancing their photodegradation.
