Testing nanocrystalline CdWO4 doped with Yb3+ as a possible down-conversion phosphor

Peculiarities of the local structure in new medium- and high-entropy, low-symmetry tungstates

“…Versatile physical and chemical properties of tungstates find a wide range of applications in scintillators [16,17], down-conversion phosphors [18], white light-emitting diodes [19], supercapacitors [20], lithium-ion batteries [21], and laser host materials [22]. Recently their use as heterogeneous catalysts [23,24], humidity or gas sensors [25], electrochromic materials [26], anticorrosion pigments [27], and optical temperature sensors [4] and in optical recording 2 [28,29] has been explored too.…”

X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy of thermochromic phase transition in CuMoO4

“…Molybdates and tungstates find a wide range of practical applications due to their ability to adopt different crystallographic structures, whose physical properties can be further modified by a chemical composition [1,2]. In particular, these materials are used as scintillators, down-conversion phosphors, white light-emitting diodes, laser host materials, catalysts, sensors and pigments [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Short Time and Low Temperature Reaction between Metal Oxides through Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Method

“…Alternatively, sol-gel, sonochemical, solvothermal, and conventional hydrothermal syntheses are reported to produce CdWO 4 nanoparticles [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] but it is important to say that in all these works the precursors were either alcoxides or metal salts. Few reports can be found in literature about the microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of CdWO 4 [23][24][25], but they make use of metal salts and organic solvents or surfactants such as toluene and PEG-1000. To our knowledge, microwavehydrothermal method using precursor oxides in aqueous solution was not reported up to the moment to produce nanostructured CdWO 4 .…”
