Microwave-Hydrothermal Synthesis of Transition Metal Tungstates with Nanosized Particles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microwave-hydrothermal processing was employed to synthesize Mn and Co tungstates under environmentally friendly conditions. X-ray diffraction showed that crystalline, single-phase materials were produced. Incipient crystallized compounds were also obtained in some conditions, as verified by TEM. For these samples, nanostructured regions could be observed inside the amorphous matrix. Sintered solid-solutions of Mn1-xCoxWO4 compounds were produced to investigate the morphological and structural changes in the resulted ceramic. Raman spectroscopy was used to obtain a reliable set of spectra containing all the Raman-active bands predicted by group-theory calculations.
