ABSTRACT
Semiconductor photocatalysis has attracted increasing attention due to its potential application in solving the problems related to energy crisis and environmental pollution. As a typical plasmonic semiconductor, non-stoichiometric tungsten oxide (WO3-X) has invoked significant interest for its unique property and excellent photocatalytic performance. In this review, we briefly introduce the fundamental properties of the WO3-x, and then summarize the synthesis methods such as solvothermal reaction, solid phase reduction and exfoliation treatment, together with the modification strategies such as doping and constructing homo-/hetero-junctions. Additionally, we emphasize the practical applications of WO3-x in hydrogen evolution, nitrogen fixation, carbon dioxide reduction, and pollutant degradation. Finally, comprehensive conclusions and perspectives on the fabrication of WO3-x photocatalyst leading to satisfactory performance are given as well.
