The design and fabrication of semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted much attention. Herein, the effect of pH value and soluble salt additives on crystal structure, morphology and photocatalytic properties of WO₃ was investigated in detail. It was found that the phase structure of WO₃ changed from monoclinic to hexagonal phase when pH value of the solution increased. The ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra show that the monoclinic and hexagonal WO₃ had absorbance from 600 nm to the ultraviolet-visible region. Hexagonal WO₃ with nanofiber bundle morphology was successfully synthesized through Na₂SO₄ and Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O-assisted hydrothermal method when pH value was 0.8. It exhibits the highest photocatalytic efficiency and better than that of cubic-shaped monoclinic WO₃. The shuttle-like hexagonal WO₃ prepared at pH 1.4 gives much lower activity. The morphology is a decisive parameter for the photocatalytic properties of WO₃.
