Plasmonic gold nanocrystals simulated efficient photocatalytic nitrogen fixation over Mo doped W18O49nanowires

Due to the synergistic effect of Mo doping and Au loading, the photocatalyst of Au nanocrystals anchored W₁₈O₄₉nanowires with Mo doping shows an apparent quantum efficiency of 0.611% at 540 nm and a high NH₃synthesis rate of 399.24 μmol g⁻¹h⁻¹.
