The electrocatalytic surface activity of tungsten oxide (WO₃) refers to the catalytic activity characteristics of its surface in electrocatalytic reactions. In the electrocatalytic process, the surface activity of tungsten oxide directly affects the rate and selectivity of the catalytic reaction.
The surface activity of tungsten oxide is mainly affected by the following aspects:
Tungsten Oxide Surface Adsorption Sites
The adsorption sites on the surface of tungsten oxide are the key locations where the catalytic reaction takes place. These sites can adsorb species involved in the reaction, such as reactants, intermediates, or products, and provide an appropriate environment to facilitate the catalytic reaction. The characteristics and density of surface adsorption sites will directly affect the adsorption capacity and catalytic activity of reactants on the surface.
Oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups on the surface of tungsten oxide
Oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups (OH) on the surface of tungsten oxide are also considered as active sites in catalytic reactions. These sites can participate in redox reactions and the formation of intermediates, thereby regulating the progress of catalytic reactions. The content and distribution of surface oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups play an important role in the catalytic performance.
Tungsten Oxide Surface Defect Sites
Defect sites in tungsten oxide crystals, such as oxygen vacancies, tungsten dislocations, etc., may also serve as surface active sites. These defect sites can affect the rate and mechanism of electron transport and surface reactions, thereby affecting the catalytic activity.
Tungsten Oxide Surface Structure and Morphology
The surface structure and morphology of tungsten oxide will also affect its electrocatalytic activity. Different surface structures and morphologies lead to different surface activities and reaction mechanisms, which affect the efficiency and selectivity of catalytic reactions.
It should be pointed out that the specific nature and relative importance of the electrocatalytic surface activity of tungsten oxide depends on the specific catalytic reaction type, conditions and characteristics of the studied tungsten oxide samples. Therefore, for different reactions and applications, specific tuning and characterization of the surface of tungsten oxide may be required to achieve the desired catalytic activity.
