| Abstract | Bi2WO6/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composite nanofibers were successfully fabricated by calcining electrospun PVP/RGO/[(NH4)10W12O41 + Bi(NO3)3] composite nanofibers. The products were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Furthermore, photoluminescence spectra (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the samples were determined to explain the mechanism for the significant enhancement of the photocatalytic performance of the Bi2WO6/RGO composite nanofibers. Bi2WO6/RGO composite nanofibers are pure orthorhombic phase with a space group of B2ab, and the diameter is 132 ± 11 nm. Bi2WO6/RGO composite nanofibers are composed of nanoparticles with the diameter ranging from 30 nm to 50 nm. The Bi2WO6/6%RGO composite nanofibers used for photocatalytic water splitting exhibit the highest H2 production, which is improved by 5.8 times compared to pure Bi2WO6 nanofibers. This could be ascribed to two points: the one-dimensional Bi2WO6/RGO composite nanofibers constructed by electrospinning technique have a better capability of electron transportation and intimate interfacial contact area between Bi2WO6 and RGO; the addition of RGO gives rise to excellent conductivity which could transfer the photogenerated electrons quickly and inhibit the recombination of electrons and holes. The study provides a new method to prepare photocatalytic material for converting water and solar energy to clean energy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
