Abstract

A series of Bi2WO6/TiO2 composite photocatalysts with different ratios of Bi2WO6 nanosheets to TiO2 nanobelts (1, ½, ⅓ and ¼) were synthesized by hydrothermal method and evaluated for CO2 photoreduction. The structural and optical properties of these photocatalysts were investigated by XRD, N2-physi...
