WO3/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) composites were successfully synthesized through direct calcining of a mixture of WO3and g-C3N4at 400 °C for 2 h. The WO3was prepared by calcination of phosphotungstic acid at 550 °C for 4 h, and the g-C3N4was obtained by calcination of melamine at 520 °C for 4 h. The WO3/g-C3N4composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Brunner−Emmett−Teller analysis (BET). The WO3/g-C3N4composites exhibited stronger XRD peaks of WO3and g-C3N4than the WO3and pure g-C3N4. In addition, two WO3peaks at 25.7° and 26.6° emerged for the 36% −WO3/g-C3N4composite. This finding indicated that WO3was highly dispersed on the surface of the g-C3N4nanosheets and interacted with the nanosheets, which resulted in the appearance of (012) and (022) planes of WO3. The WO3/g-C3N4composite also exhibited a larger specific surface area and higher degree of crystallization than WO3or pure g-C3N4, which resulted in high catalytic activity of the catalyst. Desulfurization experiments demonstrated that the desulfurization rate of dibenzothiophene (DBT)in model oil reached 91.2% under optimal conditions. Moreover, the activity of the catalyst was not significantly decreased after five recycles.
