Abstract

WO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by adding 3.8 × 10-4 M ammonium metatungstate hydrate (H26N6O40W12·H2O) to 500 mL of distilled water. The resulting mixture was heated for 4 h on the hot plate and then calcined in an electric furnace at 800 K for 2 h. WO3/graphene nanocomposites were prepared by the reaction of WO3 nanoparticles and graphene using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent. In addition, WO3/[C60]fullerene nanocomposites were prepared by the reaction of WO3 nanoparticles and [C60]fullerene. WO3/graphene nanocomposites and WO3/[C60]fullerene nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The WO3/graphene nanocomposites and WO3/[C60]fullerene nanocomposites were examined as photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dyes such as methylene blue, brilliant green and rhodamine-B under ultraviolet light at 254 nm by UV-visible spectrophotometry.
