Effect of temperature on the morphology and optical properties of Ag2WO4 obtained by the co-precipitation method: Photocatalytic activity

Photoluminescent and photocatalytic properties of Cu2+ and Mg2+‐doped ZnO nanoparticles obtained by a facile sonochemical method

“…Thus, a high degree of agglomeration can promote a decrease in the surface area of the particles and consequently, a reduction in the performance of the photocatalytic activity. 45,53,54 The elemental analysis of the samples was determined from energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectra to confirm the presence of copper and magnesium elements in the ZnO lattice. For the ZnO sample, zinc and oxygen peaks were observed.…”

“…The surface area plays a key role in photocatalytic applications, where its increase generates a greater area of direct contact, increasing its photocatalytic efficiency. Thus, a high degree of agglomeration can promote a decrease in the surface area of the particles and consequently, a reduction in the performance of the photocatalytic activity 45,53,54 …”

Tuning the morphology to enhance the catalytic activity of α-Ag2WO4 through V-doping

“…The morphology and properties of AW are very dependent on the synthesis method and reaction conditions, such as pH, temperature, and so on. 28 For most of the applications, it is vital to have a tight control over the morphology taken by the crystals because catalytic reactions occur on the surface of semiconductors, making them surface-dependent processes. Then, tuning of the surface and morphology of efficient catalysts by controlled synthesis has become a key issue in realizing the full potential of this application.…”

Tug-of-War Driven by the Structure of Carboxylic Acids: Tuning the Size, Morphology, and Photocatalytic Activity of α-Ag2WO4

“…α-Ag 2 WO 4 is a representative member of Ag-based complex oxides and, due to its unique properties, is employed in a wide range of applications such as catalysts, photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, photoluminescent, sensors, adsorbents of dyes, and antimicrobial and bactericidal agents [1][2][3][4]. α-Ag 2 WO 4 has been prepared by using different methods, such as simple precipitation [5], controlled precipitation (CP) [6], chemical precipitation [7], coprecipitation at different temperatures [8], coprecipitation followed by microwave irradiation [9], conventional hydrothermal methods [10,11], microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MAH) methods [12], simple electrochemical methods [13], simple ion exchanges at room temperature [14], and sonochemical (SC) methods [15].…”
