WO₃ films were prepared using ammonium metatungstate as the precursor and polyethylene glycol 1000 as the structure-directing agent by the polymeric precursor method. The obtained materials were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry. The photoelectrochemical properties of the WO3 film electrodes were studied by cyclic voltammetry, Mott-Schottky, transient photocurrent spectra, and photocurrent-potential curve analysis. Results indicate that the films are crystalline with a cubic structure and they have bandgap energy of 2.7 eV. The flat band potential, donor carrier density, and photocurrent density of the sample calcined at 450 ℃ are 0.06 V, 2.44×10²² cm^-3 and 2.70 mA·cm^-2 under a 500W Xe lamp (I₀=100 mW·cm^-2), respectively. The effect of calcination temperature on the photoelectrochemical properties of the WO₃ films was investigated and the mechanismof charge separation for its behavior was also discussed.
