To develop efficient and stable photocatalysts for visible light pollutant degradation, hierarchical Z‐Scheme WO3/Bi2WO6 nanotubes have been rationally designed and fabricated via a combined electrospinning‐calcination process. Moreover, the morphology of as‐fabricated nanotubes could be tuned by the annealing temperature. Accordingly, the newly‐designed hierarchical Z‐Scheme system highly facilitates the separation and migration of photoinduced charge carriers, and enhances the broadened photoabsorption range and high redox capacity owning to the synergistic effects of WO3 and Bi2WO6. Meanwhile, the corresponding possible formation mechanism is proposed as well. Benefiting from the unique structural features, the optimized 550 °C‐WO3/Bi2WO6 nanotubes exhibit the remarkable photoelectrochemical activity and photocatalytic performance for degrading pollutant models (4‐NP and RhB), among which reaction rate is superior to 500 °C and 600 °C‐WO3/Bi2WO6 counterparts. This work may shed light on rational design and construction of hierarchical Z‐Scheme WO3/Bi2WO6 nanotubes for energy and environment‐related applications.

“…Ultrasonic irradiation as a striking tool has been utilized to produce the materials with a controlled shape and grain size [20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Since characteristics of materials are under the influence of shape and grain size, the production of materials with a controlled shape and grain size has been become an especially substantial research field [27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

For the first time, a new simple route of synthesizing Nd 2 O 3 nanostructures has been developed with applying the sonochemical process. As a novel precipitator, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine was applied in the presence of Nd(NO 3) 3 .6H 2 O to prepare neodymium oxide. In order to control the shape, size and photocatalytic activity of neodymium oxide products, the type of capping agents have been altered. The synthesized nanostructured neodymium oxide has been characterized with the aid of DRS, FT-IR, XRD, TEM, FESEM and EDX. It was demonstrated that shape, size and photocatalytic activity of the sonochemically fabricated neodymium oxide were under the influence of the type of capping agent. The photocatalytic decomposition of eosin Y pollutant has been performed to compare the photocatalytic efficiencies of neodymium oxide nano and bulk structures under ultraviolet illumination.
