W18O49nanowire networks for catalyzed dehydration of isopropyl alcohol to propylene under visible light

Abstract

We report the facile one-pot synthesis of self-organized W18O49 networks. The W18O49 networks show strong localized surface plasmon resonance. Interestingly, the W18O49 networks show unexpected capability in photocatalytic dehydration of isopropyl alcohol to propylene depending on their defect structure caused by large quantities of oxygen vacancy.
