Nano-technology is a super microscopic technology to deal with structures of 100 nm or smaller. This technology also involves the developing of TiO2 materials or TiO2 devices within that size. The aim of the present paper is to synthesize WOx doped nano-TiO2 by the Sonochemistry method and to evaluate the effect of different percentages (0.5-5 wt%) of tungsten oxide load on TiO2 in methylene blue (MB) elimination. The samples were characterized using such different techniques as X-ray diffraction (XRD), TEM, SEM, and UV-VIS absorption spectra. The photo-catalytic activity of tungsten oxide doped TiO2 was evaluated through the elimination of methylene blue using UV-irradiation (315-400 nm). The best result was found with 5 wt% WOx doped TiO2. It has been confirmed that WOX-TiO2 could be excited by visible light (E<3.2 eV) and that the recombination rate of electrons/holes in WOX-TiO2 declined due to the existence of WOX doped in TiO2.
