Recent advancements in WO3-based polymeric nanocomposites for photocatalytic applications: a comprehensive review

Abstract This review article presents a comprehensive study of WO 3 -based polymeric nanocomposites specially focusing on their multifaceted photocatalytic applications. We go over the history and rationale for the use of WO 3 in photocatalysis as well as its characteristics, such as its morphology, structure, electronic capabilities, and optical qualities. In addition to reviewing different synthesis and characterization strategies for WO 3 -based polymeric nanocomposites, the photocatalytic mechanism of WO 3 is clarified. We talk about the uses of WO 3 -based polymeric nanocomposites in water treatment and pollutant degradation, and we investigate how polymeric matrices affect photocatalytic activity. A comparison with various photocatalytic materials is carried out, and factors influencing photocatalytic performance are examined. The goal of this review is to present a thorough understanding of the possibilities and limitations of WO 3 -based polymeric nanocomposites for photocatalytic applications.
