Abstract

WO_3-x nanowires were successfully synthesized through a simple surfactant-free solvothermal method. These nanowires exhibit strong plasmonic absorption in the visible and near-infrared region owing to the abundant oxygen vacancies. The plasmon excitation of these WO_3-x nanowires provide five times enhancement on the hydrogen generation from ammonia borane. H2WO: Plasmonic WO_3-x nanowires were successfully synthesized through a surfactant-free solvothermal method, and showed five times enhancement on the generation of H₂ from ammonia borane under visible-light irradiation.
