The band-gap energy tuning of WO3 quantum dots was realized in the range of 2.6 eV (bulk) to 3.7 eV (sub-nano) by precise size control around one nanometer. Newly synthesized sub-nanoporous silicas act as excellent templates. In addition, single-electron reduction of oxygen under UV irradiation is now achievable with WO3.
