Transition metal tungstates synthesized by co-precipitation method: Basic photocatalytic properties

Composite Metal Oxide‐Carbon Nanotube Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution and Oxygen Reduction Reactions

“…[30] It was also proposed that the iron centres act as catalytically active sites, leading to improved catalyst performance. [6] However, while materials such as CoWO 4 have received significant interest as electroactive compounds, [35,36,37] their application as OER and ORR catalysts has thus far been hindered by their low electronic and ionic conductivity. [34] Recent computational studies suggested that the electrocatalytic activity of 3d metal oxides can be further modulated by introducing high-valent heavy metals such as W, resulting in near-optimal adsorption energies for intermediates.…”

Taguchi method assisted optimization of electrochemical synthesis and structural characterization of copper tungstate nanoparticles

“…Copper tungstate has attracted substantial interest during recent years, because this material could be used in various important areas of science and technology such as scintillation detectors, optical fibers, photoanodes, laser host, sensors, photoelectrolysis electrodes, and positive electrode preparation for lithium based rechargeable batteries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Up to now several researches about the crystal growth [9,10], photoelectrochemical performance [10], electrochemical, optical, electrical, magnetic, and ferroelectric behaviors [1,5,[11][12][13][14][15] of the copper tungstate have been published.…”

Cubic ZnWO4 nano-photocatalysts synthesized by the microwave-assisted precipitation technique

“…through different physical or chemical synthesis routes such as mechanochemical synthesis [13], co-precipitation [14], ultrasonic irradiation [15], hydrothermal synthesis [16], electrosynthesis [17] molten salt synthesis [18], and so on. To compare conventional methods and the microwave-assisted technique, the second is an economical low temperature process that allows the formation of powders with high degree of crystallinity in a very short time because internal heating of the material happens at a lower temperature and shorter duration [19].Consequently; it is a facile way to hasten the kinetics of chemical reactions [20][21][22].…”
