| Abstract: | WO3?x nanowires were successfully synthesized through a simple surfactant‐free solvothermal method. These nanowires exhibit strong plasmonic absorption in the visible and near‐infrared region owing to the abundant oxygen vacancies. The plasmon excitation of these WO3?x nanowires provide five times enhancement on the hydrogen generation from ammonia borane. |
