Abstract
Mesoporous tungsten oxide films with lamellar structure were successfully synthesized by electrodeposition using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a templating agent. Compared to nonporous tungsten oxide prepared with isopropanol, lamellar phase mesoporous tungsten oxide showed higher photocatalytic activity and greater current density for hydrogen intercalation. Functional improvements were mostly due to the larger surface area of mesoporous tungsten oxide and facilitated charge transport.
