The enhancement of WO3-catalyzed photodegradation of organic substances utilizing the redox cycle of copper ions

WO3 is a visible-light-responsive photocatalyst and an n-type semiconductor photocatalyst, but its photocatalytic activity toward organic substances is low. We utilized several transition metal ions as redox mediators in attempts to improve the photoactivity of WO3, and a drastic improvement was obs...
