In this study, the effect of surface/structural defects of TiO2/SnO2/WO3 trimetallic oxide on the photocatalytic activity was investigated. Two sets of trimetallic oxide were prepared by mechanical mixing of the pure TiO2, WO3 and SnO2 with exposed facets synthesized by sol-gel and hydrothermal meth...
