Abstract

A compact and nanoporous structured WO₃ film was prepared by electrodeposition. For a nanoporous structured WO₃ film, polystyrene (PS) beads with a size of 320 nm were used as the template. The PS beads were completely removed by the thermal treatment, affording inverse opal WO₃ films. For the inverse opalWO₃ film (1 min), the highest photocurrent density (1.75 mA/cm² at 1.5 V versus sat. Ag/AgCl) was achieved and exhibited a superior PEC performance, up to ∼46% compared to the compact WO₃ film.
