A mild photocatalytic process with the use of tungsten trioxide has been demonstrated as a promising strategy to boost oxidative dehydrogenation of C6H12. Through engineering the surface defects, oxygen-deficient WO3-x showed outstanding selectivity and stability to produce cyclohexene. [Display omi...
