Abstract

Aqueous sols and gels of tungstic acid were prepared from Na2WO4 with protonated cation-exchange resin. Nano-tungsten oxide of a microporous lamella was synthesized by means of washing of WO3ยท2H2O with distilled water under ultrasonic wave agitation and centrifuging repeatedly, and the specific surface area tended to increase gradually with washing and centrifuging. The sample of centrifuged 7 h has more than 2 times highs specific surface area and more high photocatalytic activity. The mechanisms are also discussed.
