Abstract
Due to the synergistic effect of Mo doping and Au loading, the photocatalyst of Au nanocrystals anchored W<sub>18</sub>O<sub>49</sub>nanowires with Mo doping shows an apparent quantum efficiency of 0.611% at 540 nm and a high NH<sub>3</sub>synthesis rate of 399.24 μmol g<sup>−1</sup>h<sup>−1</sup>.
