Abstract

WO(3) modified titanate network film was prepared by an improved low-temperature two-step hydrothermal method. It showed a high mineralization yield (over 90%) for 2-propanol (IPA) photo-decomposition by only 2 h of visible light (lambda > or = 420 nm) irradiation. Furthermore, it exhibited quite good stability in this photocatalytic mineralization.
