The photocatalytic properties of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) coupled with tungsten oxide (WO3) nanocrystals are investigated to understand structural effects of the WO3nanocrystals in selective oxidation of cyclohexane (CyH). The photocatalytic activity of monolayer hydrated WO3nanosheet - Ag nanoparticle composites (WO3NSs-Ag NPs) is 1.3 times higher than that of WO3nanocube - Ag nanoparticle composites (WO3NCs-Ag NPs). The highest cyclohexane conversion of 40.2% with cyclohexanol and cylohexanone (KA oil) selectivity of 97.0% is achieved by the photocatalyst of WO3NSs-Ag NPs under solar-light irradiation at room temperature. The WO3NSs-Ag NPs shows good photocatalytic stability without evident decline of catalytic activity after ten cycles. The improved photocatalytic activity in the oxidation of cyclohexane by WO3NSs-Ag NPs is mainly due to the facilitated generation of high-reactive hydroxyl radical (radical dotOH), which is caused by the enhanced light absorption by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Ag NPs, and the effective charge transfer on the surface of WO3monolayer structure. The design and structural analysis of the WO3NSs-Ag NPs in this research may provide a novel approach for the further development of high-performance photocatalyst.
