Abstract
The construction of heterostructures promotes extending the light adsorption range of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) materials, improving the photogenerated charge carrier separation/transfer efficiency for attaining much enhanced performances. Because defective tungsten oxide (WOx) materials possess rich composition/morphology and an extended light response in the near-infrared region, WOx is a quite popular nanocomponent for modifying g-C3N4, forming heterostructures that can be used for various photocatalytic applications involving water splitting, CO2 reduction, NOx removal, H2O2 generation, and related chemical to fuel conversion reactions. In this review, important aspects of WOx/g-C3N4…
