The band-gap energy tuning of WO3 quantum dots was realized in the range of 2.6 eV (bulk) to 3.7 eV (sub-nano) by precise size control around one nanometer. Newly synthesized sub-nanoporous silicas act as excellent templates. In addition, single-electron reduction of oxygen under UV irradiation is now achievable with WO3.
通过精确控制在 1 纳米左右的尺寸,实现了 WO3 量子点的能带隙能量调谐,范围为 2.6 eV(体相)至 3.7 eV(亚纳米)。新合成的亚纳米多孔硅作为优异的模板。此外,现在可以在 UV 照射下通过 WO3 实现单电子还原氧。
