Hydrothermal Synthesis and Photoluminescent Properties of Zinc Tungstate Nano/Microstructures

Abstract:

Different Zinc tungstate (ZnWO₄) nanostructures were controllably synthesized via facile hydrothermal method in the presence of surfactant polyethylene glycol 20000 (PEG-20000). During the synthesis, cheap and simple inorganic salts were used as precursors. The shape and size of ZnWO₄ nano/microstructures can be well controlled by the dosage of surfactant, the pH value of reaction system and other hydrothermal parameters. Apart from structural and morphological characterizations of the ZnWO₄ nano/microstructures, the composition and the photoluminescent (PL) properties of typical samples have also been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction pattern and fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. The results indicated that all the products of ZnWO₄ with different morphologies exhibited the only blue peak at 506 nm with an excitation wavelength at 253 nm.
