A composite photocatalyst, Ag/AgI nanoparticles decorated WO3 pre-dopedTiO2 nanotube arrays, were constructed, which showed enhanced catalytic activity induced by the visible light. The composite structure was fabricated by a three-step method, including electrochemical anodization, wet impregnation...
