A new photoanode of hierarchical WO3 and TiO2 nanotube arrays with a layered composite structure is prepared through in situ deposition of WO3 into TiO2 nanotubes by one-pot hydrothermal method. Photo-induced open circuit potential, photocurrent density, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and T...
