A novel route to manufacture WO3@MoS2 p–n heterostructure hollow tubes with enhanced photocatalytic activity

Abstract

WO₃@MoS₂ p–n heterostructure hollow tubes (HW@M tubes) with a large surface area have been prepared for the first time by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. Notably, the HW@M tubes present an excellent photocatalytic activity ascribed to the higher separation rate of photogenerated electron and hole pairs owing to the heterostructure.
