Engineered tungsten oxide nanocrystals use near-infrared light to drive photocatalysis

May 18, 2025 Tungsten oxide nanocrystals engineered with oxygen vacancies absorb near-infrared light and enhance photocatalytic breakdown of dye pollutants in water. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Extending the light-harvesting capabilities of photocatalytic materials into the near-infrared (NIR) range has presented a persistent materials science challenge. Conventional semiconductors such as titanium dioxide and...
