Abstract

Tungsten oxide was successfully deposited on the surface of copper powder and the thickness of coating layer was dependent on deposition time. Because a spontaneous reaction occurred on the interface between copper and tungsten-peroxo electrolyte, there was a maximum thickness that could be obtained, as confirmed from XRD and EDX results. Mesoporous tungsten oxide was also deposited using SDS as a structure directing agent. As-synthesized tungsten oxide was amorphous and, after calcination at 450 °C, crystallized tungsten oxide was produced. Compared to pure tungsten oxide, the tungsten oxide coated copper oxide showed enhanced absorption in the visible region.
